There’s no denying that the past few years of unprecedented challenges has placed enormous pressure on HR. But is the rapid pace of change slowing just yet? Has HR arrived at its final destination?

The CIPD Talent Management and Workforce Planning Conference 2023 is here to aid you in setting yourself apart from your competitors by enhancing your talent pool. Join us on the 7 February, in London or online, for the necessary building blocks of best practice strategies, innovative approaches and initiatives to improve and “future-proof” your organisation’s strategic workforce planning process.

The digital and ecological transformation and demographic change have been shaping the future strategies of forward-looking organizations for several years. Multiple recent crises also require companies to adapt more quickly and to establish resilient structures. The shortage of skilled workers has far-reaching consequences for the digital industry: 137,000 unfilled IT positions in Germany limit innovation and investments in new technologies. In the coming years, it will be important for companies to increase labor force participation in Germany, to successfully qualify the workforce and career changers and to be attractive to domestic and foreign talent. In addition, companies must also assume social and ecological responsibility in everyday working life, for example through health and diversity management.
