About this Event

The workplace is in the midst of unprecedented change.

From AI implementation and shifting immigration policies to generational change and an unpredictable business climate, HR leaders are navigating an employment landscape that looks nothing like it did just a few years ago.

In this interactive session, we’ll explore how organizations are rethinking recruitment, development, and retention strategies to thrive in uncertainty.



Join us to unpack:

· How to address critical skills shortages in a disrupted labour market

· The ripple effects of changing immigration policies on recruitment and workforce planning

· How AI and automation are reshaping roles, career paths, and succession planning


You’ll walk away with fresh insights, actionable ideas, and renewed confidence to tackle HR’s biggest challenges in the new work world.

  • Senior Talent Acquisition Leader — Creative recruitment strategies for a shrinking talent pool
  • Organizational Development Strategist — Building skills, leadership, and bench strength for the future
