[Free] Decoding the Job: Rethink, Readapt, Realign

Event Details

With the global economy experiencing massive changes, there have been fundamental shifts in talent recruitment and retention, company culture, and upskilling and reskilling. Success through these transitions requires major shifts in thinking about how hiring and employee development are done.

In the current hiring landscape, there seems to be a disconnect between employers and new hires. Employers are having trouble finding the right talent and encountering unrealistic expectations from their new hires, while new hires are trying to find fulfilling work.

According to a LinkedIn survey, the number one skill for recruiters to embrace was adaptability. Recruiters have had to rethink and readapt to their hiring processes and policies and innovate new strategies to realign with the current hiring landscape.

Join us as our panel of experts discuss the following:

How to decode skill sets for a future ready workforce and job descriptions for entry level talent
How to upskill and reskill talent to build a stronger pipeline of talent from young grads
How to help bridge the gap for entry level new grads entering the workforce after the pandemic
How to address the generational challenges of onboarding new graduates into an organization and helping them assimilate into the workplace
