Why Every HR Leader and Business Owner Needs to Embrace People Risk Management

People are at a premium today. The ‘war for talent’ might be a cliché but as skills gaps continue to increase and engagement remains a real challenge that HR has yet to solve, ‘employee development’, an emerging and increasingly important category in the talent management space, has become the central pillar in the employee lifecycle of every organisation. How do you help your people develop and grow in a way that truly motivates them and really increases their impact in the business.

Organisations are increasingly recognising the value of older workers in filling skills shortages and the benefits that having mixed-age teams can bring. Putting in place support mechanisms, such as having open discussions about people’s careers in later life, and making suitable job adaptations can help to ensure that the opportunities presented by having people working for longer are maximised.

Employee engagement is a state of functioning in an organization, in which employees are motivated to contribute to the company’s success.

In this program, you will hear from both about the challenges they’re facing, solutions they’re putting into action, and how they’re effectively rewriting talent strategy to attract and retain working parents.
