Future of Work: Three-Part Webinar Series

As workplaces and the?types of skills people need for certain jobs?change, we will need to explore multiple solutions to mitigate challenges and uplift what’s working. Chambers of commerce are uniquely positioned to collaborate with members and other stakeholders to identify strategies that lead to long-term economic success. To help chambers learn, prepare and plan for what’s ahead for both workplaces and workforce, ACCE is hosting a Work of the Future Series from November – December 2022. Join your peers for three info-packed sessions. Register here.

Session 1: How Workplace Trends will Impact Economic Development - Nov. 16 from 12:30 - 1 pm ET

The pandemic and ensuing trends like the Great Resignation shifted the power dynamics between employers and employees. Julie Whelan from CBRE, a commercial real estate services and investment firm, will share current employer and employee workplace expectations and how changes to the physical work environment create new opportunities for economic development.

Speaker: Julie Whelan, Head of Occupier Research for the Americas, CBRE

Session 2: Emerging Trends in Employment Practice - Nov. 30?from 12:30 - 1 pm ET

Chambers cannot anticipate every disruptor to the world of work, but they can utilize existing data and forecast what their communities may face in a few years. Representatives from the organizational consulting firm Korn Ferry will discuss their?Future of Work Trends 2022 Report?and explain how your chamber can help members modernize their methods, as well as how you can adopt new practices to be an employer of choice.

Speaker: Elise Freedman, Senior Client Partner in the Organizational Strategy Practice and Practice Leader for Workforce Transformation, Korn Ferry

Session 3: Promising Practices for Reskilling Talent - Dec. 14 from 12:30 - 1 pm ET

Technology, disruptions to business models and other factors have changed the nature of jobs and the skills employers seek. Chambers can support employers by encouraging them to be advocates for lifelong learning through reskilling and upskilling efforts. Learn the ways employers are adapting how they train talent to reflect industry changes by partnering with post-secondary institutions. Shayne Spaulding of the Urban Institute will share how strategic employer engagement, such as providing input for non-degree programs or determining what goes into a quality credential, can help build a stronger talent pipeline and workforce ecosystem for your community.

Speaker: Shayne Spaulding, Senior Fellow, Income and Benefits Policy Center, Urban Institute
