Join Us for Forward: A Virtual Event Exploring How Talent Leaders Can Put People First

If there’s one stat that clearly demonstrates the reach of the Great Reshuffle, it’s this one from a study by Microsoft: over 40% of the global workforce considered leaving their jobs last year.

That’s a staggering and almost incomprehensible number that clearly presents many challenges for talent leaders. But with these challenges comes a great opportunity to build an exciting and new world of work — one that’s more flexible, equitable, and fulfilling for all.

To help you on this journey, LinkedIn is hosting Forward, our second annual global virtual event taking place on LinkedIn Live on March 29, 2022, for viewers in NAMER, EMEA, and LATAM and on March 30 for viewers in Asia Pacific.

This hour-long event, hosted by Angela Duckworth, will bring together talent leaders from businesses around the world, including Deloitte, Pfizer, Mailchimp, and more, to discuss the challenges of the Great Reshuffle and strategies for addressing it head on. The virtual gathering will include two panel sessions — one will tackle how to rethink and strengthen your company culture, while the other will address how to improve skill building and internal mobility efforts. You’ll also hear insights from LinkedIn executives — including chief economist Karin Kimbrough — and there will be time to ask questions live and on the spot.

Read on to learn more about the panels and speakers — and be sure to register today.

Strengthening culture amid the Great Reshuffle

We’ve reached a defining moment for company culture where everyone — employers and employees alike — is rethinking not just how we work but why we work. Employees want more flexibility, more equitable workplaces, more transparency, and more focus on well-being.

To help you meet this moment, we’ve brought together a panel of experts to discuss how they’re changing their approach to recruiting, employee engagement, and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) to reshape company culture. The panel includes Lars Schmidt, founder of Amplify, an HR consultancy and executive search firm; Jen Fisher, chief well-being officer at Deloitte; and Crystal Gaskin, chief people and culture officer at Mailchimp.

Cultivating internal mobility with skill building

As employees around the world reconsider their careers, building a talent strategy around skills development has become more important than ever. Creating a robust skill-building program at your company can not only help with employee retention and well-being, but can also drive more equitable outcomes for historically underrepresented groups that have faced challenges in growing their careers.

In this session, Sean Hudson, vice president of learning and development at Pfizer and Daisy Auger-Dominguez, chief people officer at Vice Media Group, will take a deep dive into the opportunities and challenges of implementing a skills-first talent strategy. They’ll touch on fostering employee growth, strengthening internal mobility programs, and more.

The world of work has been flipped on its head. Companies used to believe that people work for companies, but with the Great Reshuffle, employees have hopped into the driver’s seat and it’s become clear that companies need to work for people.

Let’s move forward together into the people-first future of work. Join us at Forward on March 29 and 30. Registration is now open. Click here and complete the registration form to secure your spot today.
