Mega trends are characterised as deep and profound trends, global in scope and long-term in effect, touching everyone on the planet and shaping our world for many years to come. These Megatrends have transformed our world even faster than we predicted. Largely, this is due to the interaction between the trends, which has turbocharged both the speed and pervasiveness of change. As organisations continue to focus efforts on evolving their landscape and increasing their attention towards business viability with a significant emphasis on addressing business and financial risks, more focus needs to be on risk elements associated with the workforce - but you can’t manage what you don’t understand. In addressing the challenges ahead, organisations will need to gain insights into the unique workforce challenges and opportunities to make informed interventions and stay ahead of whatever comes next. Learn how organisations can assess workforce risks and turn them into legitimate market opportunities, enabling organisations to make intelligence-led decisions on investment priorities to create a competitive advantage. We have invited speakers from PwC to share insights on these megatrends and proactive solutions which can be used to address these challenges. Joining us from PwC will be Debra Ovinis and Bernice Wessels. Debra Ovinis is a Partner in PwC South East Asia Consulting's Workforce Transformation practice based in KL and Bernice Wessels is a Partner in PwC South Africa’s Actuarial, Risk and Quants practice leading the HR workforce analytics capability. In this 60-minute interactive and participative programme, Debra and Bernice will take you through:

  • Global Mega Trends - Disruptive megatrends which are significantly affecting organisations worldwide.
  • PwC Hopes & Fears 2023 survey – Survey findings from 19,500 Asia Pacific employees driving the need to reinvent the workforce.
  • Workforce Risk – How to holistically view workforce risk and uncover workforce opportunities for competitive advantage.
