How to Recruit and Attract the Best Talent

More experiences, less loyalty. Less stability, more flexibility. Career management for the next generation is a frequent conversation in HR circles. Companies need to take charge of planning career opportunities for the next generation if they want to attract and retain top talent. HR practices and resources need to match the drive and highly creative minds of the next generation – it’s about developing the individual, not necessarily the next leader.

In this session, we will explore three key elements to help HR teams lead career management strategies that will encourage all generations to own their own destiny, increase engagement the workplace, and build stronger intergenerational cultures:

- Build your network at work through self-advocacy
- Create meaning behind the metrics
- Focus on flexibility

As distributed workforces become a fact of life, propelled by a rapidly aging workforce and a rising popularity in contingent or gig employment - how do we make that work?

Digital tech helps. There's more than enough of it to support a distributed workforce. But that's not what’s important. What is important is soul. Team culture, identity, a messianic sense of inclusion, shared mission and purpose.

Ken will draw from his first hand experience in united a distributed workforce to deliver the world's first Digital Total Rewards System for Unilever, delivered on budget and on time.

Topics covered will include:
- Why a flat organisation structure is essential to making a distributed workforce work
- Establishing the ultimate meeting cadence from daily stand-ups to two-week delivery meetings
- The huge importance of recognition

As Digital Transformation continues to reshape how work gets done, smart companies are looking at the best ways to engage their employees to drive productivity and improve outcomes.

This session will discuss the communications technologies that can help your business stay competitive in an increasingly virtual workplace.

An interdisciplinary discussion on how corporations are leveraging their unique cultures to ensure the right person is in the right position at the right company. The focus is on sharing success stories that demonstrate the power behind corporate culture as an engagement tool and how measuring and assessing culture can maximize employee belonging, team productivity and corporate profitability.

Join this panel discussion to learn:

- How culture changes as a company scales and how the culture shift impacts recruitment

- How to set realistic hiring expectations in order to hire quality candidates

Qualified candidates are an elusive, shrinking, moving target. The labor market is shrinking, time-to-fill is increasing, and cost-per-hire is rising. And yet most organizations continue to recruit future employees like it was 1970. Consequently, top talent just “swipes left” in mind-numbing fashion. To win the race for talent, an exceptional candidate experience matters from - your career site to the job offer.

The discussion focuses on the scientific methodology underscoring the Net Culture Score℠ and Employee Net Culture Score℠ assessments. Use cases demonstrate the advantages of using evidence-based applications to measure, re-engineer, and monitor your corporate culture, providing a look at the future of HR analytics.
