Planning for Tomorrow: The Future of Work

Past Indicators | Future Predictions | Actionable Insights

As many HR professionals and corporate leaders can attest, contemplating the future of work is not new. What is different today is the speed and urgency that change seems to be unfolding, along with the potential transformative shift in the landscape of work that appears imminent.

To address this uncertainty, HR executives are formulating strategies to confront the future of work, encompassing considerations of inequality, upskilling, social safety nets, gender dynamics, and the evolving role of human labor in the 21st century.

This year’s annual HRO Today Association Conference & Awards Program (December 1, 2023; 11:00 AM – 1:30 PM ET, virtual via Zoom) will delve into the ever-shifting work landscape, through providing real-world insights into the disrupters that organizations had to overcome as well as the opportunities they faced and how they were able to solve them.  We will touch on the transformative potential of technology and skill advancement, while also addressing the imperative yet sometimes daunting task of anticipating and readying for upcoming disruptions in the labor market and the way people work and live.  By attending the 2023 Conference, you will gain insight on how you can plan for tomorrow and the future of work.

• Past Indicators | Learn from our group of 2023 award finalists, as their success factors and accomplishments are highlighted and shared with all attendees. From innovative techniques in DEI and exemplary Leadership, to best in class recruitment and progressive HR strategies, we will reveal groundbreaking solutions for achieving HR success across ten award categories.
• Future Predictions | During the live panel interview with several accomplished CHROs, they will discuss their winning formula for establishing business value in all things related to managing the workforce – from employee engagement to flexibility, benefits to mental health and acquiring and retaining top talent. They will also share their prediction on what the future of HR will look like and where in the world of HR as we know it today, they expect to see the most dramatic transformation.
• Actionable Insights | If past performance is any indicator of future behavior, then HR and business leaders would be smart to reflect on how they effectively [or ineffectively] managed through the social, global, economic, and political disrupters that impacted their organization in the past. Gleaning insights from these reflections facilitates adept preparation for favorable future results. Attendees will gain deeper insight into this concept during the Crafting Practical Strategies for Future Readiness session.

Plan now to attend the 2023 HRO Today Association Conference & Awards Program and together we will envision the workplaces of tomorrow and discuss strategies to not only adapt but excel in this rapidly evolving environment!
