From Company Statements to Strategic Imperative

A little over a year ago, DEI was a one-time generalized training that checked a box. Now, C-Suite executives are prioritizing DEI because it has become part of their Environmental, Social, and Corporate (ESG) strategy that is overseen by their board.

As we look to 2022 and beyond, the grace period has expired. Organizations can no longer risk doing nothing. DEI will remain key to attracting a diverse pipeline, retaining top talent, and growing customer loyalty. In this session, you’ll hear from some of the leading staffing DEI advocates in our space: Moderated by Leslie Vickrey, CEO and Founder of ClearEdge Marketing, with panelists Sunny Ackerman, President of the Americas for SThree, Ross Cadastre, Founder and CEO at Innovative Talent Solutions and President of the Black Business & Professional Association, Don Harvey, SVP of DEI for Kforce, and Korryn Williamson, Director of DEI for Insight Global. They’ll discuss the great opportunity the staffing industry is holding in the palm of its hands, how to get buy-in and jump start your efforts, and how the employer and employee contract has changed forever. They’ll also provide real examples and stories of the impactful change they're implementing, not only for their own organizations, but also for the companies they serve.

Welcome to the Job Hopper Economy

In 2014, you couldn’t open a recruitment industry magazine without running into at least one article bemoaning the millennial generation’s chronic job-hopping. Why can’t these darn kids just stay with the same company for more than a couple of years? A 30-year-old who had been with one employer since college was a rare treasure — and a hot commodity. This was the kind of candidate HR pros, recruiters, and business leaders wanted more than anything — someone with dedication, loyalty, and a real work ethic. Things couldn’t be more different today. Now, when a recruiter comes across the resume of a 30-year-old who has been with the same company for nearly a decade, they might grow skeptical. Is this candidate risk-averse? Are they not taking charge of their career? Have they let themselves stagnate by staying at one company for so long? The new talent model is flexible and dynamic. Employers value candidates with entrepreneurial instincts and self-directed career paths. Job hopping is a fact of life; a career comprises a series of projects rather than long stints with one organization.

Why the Extended Workforce is the Cornerstone of the Future of Work

The extended workforce comprises nearly 47% of the average organization’s workforce. This workforce’s rampant growth, evolution, and impact in the midst of a global pandemic has reinforced the relative agility of contingent labor, proving that businesses that want to optimize how work is done to look to the extended workforce as a value-driving asset.

Working and doing business in the New Normal

Knowing that the Covid pandemic will have long lasting impacts in the world of work, how are we going to work and doing business in the new Normal? How to adapt to labour markets that are becoming increasingly complex, volatile and uncertain? During his presentation, Denis Pennel (Managing Director of the World Employment Confederation) will highlight the structural shifts impacting the world of work and demonstrate that the staffing industry has a key role to play in supporting the transition to new economies, driving social innovation, simplifying labour market complexity, delivering responsible intermediations and making jobs markets work for everyone. Part of the solution is to rethink how employees should be recruited, managed and retained while career planning should be reinforced. Working conditions are to be jointly agreed upon, in a flexible way, including possibility for remote working, non-standard working hours and different options to formalise the contractual arrangement (part-time, fixed or agency work contract). Adapting to a changing world of work is part of the DNA of the Staffing industry, along with supporting individuals and companies to mitigate the impacts of economic shocks. As the world of work reinvents itself, the future of the Staffing industry can only be bright!
