Speaker: Michael Custers (CMO, SD Worx), George LaRocque (SVP Insight, Unleash) , Trish McFarlane and Thomas Otter (Tech advisor, Investor, and HR Generalist)
2020 saw HR priorities shuffled and reshuffled. Existing trends are accelerating, while new strategies for the workforce have emerged. As workplaces and work models have revamped, HR has explored new domains that have now quickly become familiar territory. With everything changing and spinning so rapidly, HR looks to the future and what trends will guide us. This webinar will answer three questions: What has kept HR grounded through 2020? How does this affect HR’s decisions in the short term? Which priorities should HR revisit to ensure success in 2021? We’ll look across eleven countries in Europe to explore this dynamic reality and what it means for your business

The profound goal of digitalisation has always been to support HR in making better decisions based on analyses and predictions, while optimising employee experience and satisfaction levels. But how are European companies performing?
We asked 3,000 companies, large and small, about their digital ambitions and challenges. To what extent are HR and payroll processes automated, and how big of a priority is the employee experience.

With the rise digitalisation, new business models, and workforce polarisation, would you buy, build or borrow your talent?

Like a good hula hoop spin, more now than ever, we argue that HR will need firm footing while flexibly shifting to accommodate and harness the circular and dynamic flows of talent.
