Join Everest Group as we discuss the insights of the latest report “Where will the work be done?”, the first of a three-part series with Talent Solutions analyzing the New Reality of work. As organizations navigate the business uncertainty, hybrid working models, and talent shortages; the pre-pandemic paradigm of delivering work is no longer feasible. Organizations need to make rapid shifts to the new way of working – where work is not defined by physical office spaces and office timings and talent is not restricted by geographical boundaries.
In this keynote session, Everest Group will take a closer look at:
Talent shortage is at a 15-year high and talent shortage across the engineering sector is nothing new, however Babcock, an international aerospace, defense, and nuclear engineering company, have used 2020 as an opportunity to redefine engineering talent. Remote working has proved that not every role needs to be tied to location, thus reducing the number of barriers when attracting hard-to-find skills.
With an attrition rate of less than 10%, Babcock has shown that attracting and retaining talent during a skills shortage requires thinking outside of the box: market mapping, data, tech investments, mental health, development opportunities, helping the community are just some of the initiatives at the forefront of Babcock’s talent strategy.
Join Jill Bassett, Operations and Board Director at Talent Solutions, as she chats with Ali Gilani, Babcock’s Group HR Director about the challenges facing the engineering sector and what Babcock has learnt from 2020.
In this session, we will take a closer look at:
One thing 2020 has taught us is that the ways in which we work will never be the same. Due to Covid-19, nearly every employed person has experienced a major shift in their work life and employers are reconsidering how to hire and maintain talent. They are also faced with making other critical long-term business decisions, such as how to manage costs, what is the right mix of permanent and contingent labor types, where to find the in-demand skills needed to grow and where will employees perform their jobs – in the office or remotely.
Join this session to learn Raleen Gagnon, VP Global Market Intelligence at Talent Solutions, what tools are available for businesses to make data-driven decisions to inform their short- and long-term workforce planning needs, including location strategy, remote work allocation, capacity planning, cost savings and workforce mix.
In this session we will address 3 key questions organizations are often faced with:
Last year we saw the biggest workforce shift and reallocation of skills since World War II and as organizations transform, innovate, and digitize at speed and scale, skills needs are transforming too. Some industries and people are bouncing back faster and better, while others at risk of falling further behind are in urgent need of upskilling and reskilling.
In this session moderated by Talent Solutions Consulting, we are joined by Petroleum Geo-Services (PGS), who recently established a New Energy division, and QinetiQ, part of the Train-to-Fit programme, as they discuss the importance of transferability of skills and how innovation, and upskilling will play a fundamental role in talent sustainability and future-proofing organizations.
