Description

Building the next-generation enterprise requires a focus on a deeper investment in your workers and their development. Designing clear, defined career pathways helps employees map out the skills and training they need to move up to desired roles and functions. Such opportunities for mobility can keep workers motivated and engaged at work and retain women in the workforce. Join this keynote session for insight into interrelated trends that will drastically impact the ability to thrive in the fourth industrial revolution. From the speed of automation, the growing student debt crisis, and the widening skills gap, we’ll explore how to guide employees on career pathways for the future.
