VIRTUAL THINK TANK: Navigating the Future of Work: Strategy and Technology

Connex Staff |

Amid intense competition for talent, HR leaders are shifting their focus towards value-added employee experiences like quiet hiring, upskilling, equitable work arrangements, and internal mobility. Challenges managing a multigenerational workforce persist and are magnified by the Gen Z skills gap and significant variance in priorities between demographics. Additional complexity is emerging in calls for transparency around algorithmic bias in recruitment and promotion, the need to control pandemic-induced app sprawl, and the tension between demands for remote work opportunities and increasingly rigid return to work policies.

  • Bridging the Skills Gap: Unique approaches to address the skills gap, particularly among Gen Z, through upskilling, reskilling, and professional development initiatives.
  • Navigating Onsite vs. Remote: Insights and lessons learned from the ongoing debate around onsite vs. remote work and their integration into HR talent strategies.
  • Balancing Generational Preferences: Strategies to create a balanced workplace culture that caters to the needs of both older and younger employees.
  • Crafting a Compelling Employee Value Proposition: Best practices for developing a comprehensive employee value proposition that significantly impacts engagement, satisfaction, and retention, along with the challenges encountered.
