Organizations’ ability to survive, adapt and grow hinge on recruiting and retaining high-quality, diverse talent. But in the current hiring landscape, many CHROs are finding that it has become an employee market, making it necessary to shift strategies and adopt new approaches. How are CHROs creating anterior solutions and hanging onto talent in this landscape amongst intense competition? 

Join this session as HR leaders discuss: 

· Methods for exceeding employee expectations including compensation, benefits, flexibility and additional creative solutions

· Tools and approaches for attracting and retaining diverse talent in the dynamic and competitive employee market

· Ideas for maintaining and strengthening culture amid a largely geographically dispersed and virtual work environment

Organizations’ ability to survive, adapt and grow in this environment hinge on recruiting high-quality talent. Simultaneously, HR leaders must reevaluate structuring staff and tracking the performance of their function while operating from a hybrid environment.

In this session, HR leaders will discuss:

· Retaining and strengthening culture to accommodate virtual and hybrid environment

· Acquiring high-quality internal and external talent with a diversity of skills, backgrounds, employment models and work preferences

· Addressing growing expectations for remotely onboarding employees

The impacts of 2020 are still being studied, and the effects on the workplace and the workforce have been significant and in some cases, permanent. When designing the new world of work, HR leaders must consider many variables and develop a plan that is both flexible and future-focused.
