Talent Summit Masterclasses
Masterclass 1 (8.15-9.00am)
5 Ways Technology Can Support HR during and post COVID
Kristofer Karsten
Head of HR, UKI & Europe, Ceridian
Session Overview
Companies are being forced through the biggest transformation they’ve experienced in decades. Join Kristofer Karsten, Head of HR UKI & Europe at Ceridian, to discuss some of the huge challenges that HR leaders faced during the pandemic in 2020 and those anticipated in the next 12 months.
Just some of the challenges HR leaders will face as we transition to the new normal are immense. For example, how to manage a significant rise in a remote workforce with most employers unprepared to manage this new paradigm. With only 34% of employees describing themselves as “engaged” at work, how can organisations tackle this challenge?
Companies may be realising that they need to fill a skills gap created by furloughed or redundant employees from within the remaining employee base, whilst upskilling existing employees to take on new tasks.
They may also need to scale back operations and deploy new strategies to engage employees as they transition to the new normal – however that will look.
Key learnings
Join this session to learn how technology can really give you the edge. Kris will cover how to:
support People Leaders to align existing skills and talent with growth objectives and organisational requirements
deliver robust learning and development for agility
mitigate operational risk through succession planning
collect ongoing feedback from employees and how this is so critical
Masterclass 2 (8.15-9.00am)
Harnessing Migration and Mobility: How to Build Global Teams Compliantly
Barbara Mangan
Global Audit and Compliance Manager, Globalization Partners
Session Overview
The Covid-19 pandemic has forced companies worldwide to take up a remote-first approach. According to McKinsey & Company, roughly one-third of the total workforce in Europe began working from home due to the sudden shift to remote work. Companies are considering downsizing city offices, as employees have started relocating to different locations due to the pandemic. While the ability to work remotely was once considered a perk, it has now become a necessity. Companies must harness the migration and mobility of employees and focus on creating a productive remote working environment. This opens a huge opportunity for companies too — they can now hire employees no matter where they live. Recruiting top global talent before your competition can help your business grow internationally. However, it is important to ensure that your company’s overall business infrastructure is optimized to support expansion in the international marketplace.
How can companies build highly productive remote global teams compliantly?
Firstly, there could be a catalog of new filings, activities, and procedures for your HR and legal staff. Secondly, every marketplace has different rules, regulations and laws to comply with. Building remote global teams can have multiple advantages for companies, provided they have the right support to ensure compliance throughout the process.
In this session, you will gain insight on:
Growth prospects available for companies looking to expand internationally
The advantages of building remote global teams
Tips on building remote global teams compliantly
