Overview

Exploring the realities of the future of talent across a multi-generational workforce

Demographic shifts are reshaping the global workforce, while expectations and norms around work and the workplace continue to evolve. Organizations face pressing talent shortages, increased risks from skills gaps, and the need to accelerate the pace of workforce development. Corporate leaders say that success in talent acquisition and retention—particularly of the next generation workforce—creates strategic advantages that they cannot afford to overlook.

Tapestry Networks will convene the Reimagining the Future of Talent forum on September 19, 2024 at Spelman College in Atlanta, GA. The forum will explore talent, technology, culture, access, and opportunity through a dialogue that spans generations. A private, invitation-only event, the meeting will bring together board members and top executives of large companies, thought leaders, and Spelman students and faculty for a candid exchange on how companies can more effectively address a changing work environment.

Organizations and boards are confronting major shifts in workplace norms, including redefining the employee-employer relationship, changing expectations for work-life balance, increased emphasis on the role of values, and eroding trust. Global demographic dynamics, policy and regulatory changes, and new technologies present opportunities for innovation and challenges for talent management.

Already facing a talent crisis, healthcare employment is expected to grow by 13% in the next decade, accounting for 45% of all newly created jobs. This comes at a time of the impending mass retirement of baby boomers while technology and new business models in healthcare are changing the competitive landscape.

Emerging technologies could disrupt 44% of workers’ skills in the next five years, requiring leaders to rethink how to develop and retain talent. Technology is creating new ways for individuals to build nontraditional careers;  the creator economy is expected to reach some $500 billion by 2027. This digitally fluent culture is driving greater transparency, with major consequences for brand identity and corporate reputation.
