Board NRC Dialogue & Networking: NRC’s Role in Championing a Future-Focused Talent Agenda

Employees and employers’ expectations have changed dramatically pre- and post-pandemic, marking the transition into a new era that has begun. With emerging technologies, shifting demographics, and evolving work arrangements continuing to shape the future of work, companies are finding themselves having to adapt to or anticipate the changing talent landscape in order to remain competitive and future focused. More than just a combination of Work 1.0, where we operated mostly on-site pre-pandemic, and Work 2.0, where work happened remotely. Work 3.0 has a distinctive character of its own but many leaders are underestimating the amount of shift required now to get their talent strategies right. 

In setting the right pace to tackle the demands of Work 3.0, leaders would need to step back and restrategise their team productivity, engagement and well-being approaches. It’s time to strengthen talent strategy and create an employee-centric environment including flexible work arrangements, while creating an open and adaptable culture. 

As the tone at the top, Boards have to expand their horizon on the type of talent strategies that will attract, retain and reward the next generation of talents that are calling for stronger value propositions and concrete career paths. In dealing with this transformation challenge, insights into employee engagement, performance, retention and turnover, and experience across different segments are critical data sets that will provide greater clarity on renewed expectations. 

Is the company enabling a win-win cultural shift in a flexible working arrangement? Have you thought about or created a human-centred rewards policy which includes salary equity? What new salary approaches are being introduced? As leaders, are you reimagining your leadership skills, mindsets and how you are managing tomorrow’s teams? With many technology players racing to improve and assimilate ChatGPT into their products, how will these technological changes impact how work are being done? 

Join us for a dialogue on all of the above and how the NRC can champion a future-focused talent agenda. Register today.

This dialogue session will be held under the Chatham House Rule.
