Where are the workers? In spite of headlines highlighting layoffs, many industries are struggling with talent shortages. Here in Nevada, healthcare, renewable energy, and tourism/gaming have job openings that simply can’t be filled by available workforce or solved with traditional workforce planning approaches. The future of work – and worker experience - will continue to be shaped by ongoing changes in the workforce, workplace, and work itself.
At Synthology, we are helping companies optimize workforce productivity. Artificial Intelligence is a timely tool, allowing us to focus on best use of human powers, while leveraging the power of AI to get more stuff done every day. As expected, the workplace demographics have shifted significantly. The majority Millenial workforce has surfaced a culture reflecting Millenial values and expectations, as well as a workforce of digital natives. Leadership and culture must reflect innovation and inclusion to attract and retain talent. Finally, work itself is changing. Skill sets for jobs have changed 25% since 2015. By 2027, this number is expected to double. With worker shortages, there is no "time off" for learning. Instead, we are embedding learning in the flow of work with software and apprentice-like experiences to get more done during our work days. The workplace of the future is a human-centered, tech-enabled experience that thrives on automating, innovating, and creating a culture of belonging. Are you ready for the future of work?
During the presentation, Cristine will discuss:
Talent shortage: The broader market conditions that will shape the future of work
Workforce: Industry challenges and talent solutions
Workplace: Shifting demographics and values in the workplace
Work itself: Rapid changes and skill requirements
