Workforce 2030: Built to Last

The World Economic Forum's warning is clear: half of all workers will need significant reskilling within the next five years. Meanwhile, Gen Z demand purpose over pay, AI bots are gatekeeping your talent pipeline and middle management is vanishing.

In an era of uncertainty, it’s proving more important than ever to curate a workforce with the capabilities to adapt and pivot as business needs change.

Join us for a provocative morning exploring the future of work, where AI is reshaping the workplace. 50% of workers face mandatory reskilling and employee loyalty hinges on values over salary.

Through keynote insights and expert panellist discussion, we'll tackle the talent crisis head-on and ask:

• In an age of algorithms, how do we keep humanity?
• How do businesses retain employees, whose wants and needs are now more complex, while traditional career paths become increasingly unclear?
• Given that the most critical skill is adaptability, how must our recruitment processes evolve?
• And how do we begin upskilling for roles that do not even exist yet?
