Join us for our very first Business Bites: Becoming Future-Fit where we explore professional development and the changing workforce.
We are in the midst of a fundamental shift in how work gets done. The workforce itself is rapidly transforming. This transformation is a response to the increasing adoption of technology, globalization, and shifts in social-cultural expectations. Most experts project that the change will continue at an escalating pace. This shifting landscape can make workforce planning and personal professional development difficult to navigate.
This session is facilitated by Kelly O’Connell, a Innovation Strategist and Forbes HR Council Member, shares insights on how the workforce is changing, what the future of work may look like, and how to develop the change agility skills that will enable you and your teams to grow through the change.
In this session, we will cover:
- The changing workforce landscapes
- What the future of work may look like
- Risks of resisting change
- Core characteristics that are likely to be in demand in the workplace of the future
- An innovative approach to planning for the unexpected
We will leave 15 minutes for Q&A.
