A Panel Discussion on Strategies for Success
The declared Great Resignation is not so “great” for human capital leaders facing the immense challenges of attracting and retaining talent in this highly competitive labor market.
The pandemic has emphasized the importance of culture and employer brand, reoriented the employee experience, and, with hybrid work environments, allowed organizations to tap into more diverse talent pools. Still, even the best companies are struggling to fill role or skill gaps to meet current and future needs—not to mention their DE&I commitments.
In this in-person session, HR executives Lauren Gardner (CVP, Global Talent Acquisition, Microsoft), Paula Radloff (VP, Global Talent Acquisition & Executive Recruiting, NIKE, Inc.), and Sara Kelly (SVP, Talent & Partner Experience, Starbucks) discussed:
- What levers their iconic global brands have used recently to impact talent attraction and retention
- How high-performing organizations consider broad employee input in determining and deciding flexibility in where and when work is performed
- Ways each company is addressing concerns of proximity bias and flexibility fairness across the varying work environments, types of work, and hiring
- How they are managing systematic workforce connectivity to support talent retention and engagement success
- Experimentation and successes in evolving more compelling employee value propositions to compete for talent
