Workplace Application:
You will learn about the trending “gig” economy and how the changing workplace is affecting employers and employees.
How do you define “employee”? We are witnessing a rapidly changing workforce, and HR needs to be on the frontlines. “Jobs” may no longer fall under the traditional 9-5 structure; with the Millennial generation, technological advancements and an increasingly global marketplace, the standard rules and restrictions may no longer apply. With these changes, how do HR leaders proactively but appropriately structure employee benefits, employee relationships and protections? In this timely session, you will learn:
- The current landscape of the workplace.
- How traditional paradigms are being pressed.
- How employers are embracing change and flexibility.
- How organizations of varying types can join this conversation on the increasingly modern workplace.
