Given the pace of change in skills driven by advancements in technology, the future is much more about what candidates and employees can do than the specific jobs that defined roles in the past. We can't slow the pace of change, yet we can understand what’s needed and invest in upskilling to build the workforce of tomorrow and win in the digital age. Rebekah Kowalski, VP Client Workforce Solutions for ManpowerGroup NA, will kick off our Symposium as keynote speaker and engage us on a journey that discusses workforce trends impacting roles across various industry sectors like manufacturing, finance, healthcare and more. Learn how each of us will need to become builders of talent to ensure our organizations succeed today and tomorrow.

Priorities are a fact of life and not everything you want gets funded. When you can assert and

defend that 80% of the variance in how candidates will rate their experience of your hiring process is due to just 5 factors, you'll find you'll stack higher on that list of must haves when you can link that rating to evidence of a higher conversion of quality candidates, a willingness to re-apply when more competitive, an increased intention to refer others or the continued interest in purchasing your products and services.
