Led by Rosaleen Blair CBE, this panel of global HR and talent leaders explores how the pandemic has catalysed change when it comes to people and talent practices. Are we facing an opportunity to reimagine the talent landscape and reset 'work'?

 

Key points

  • The pandemic forced organisations to initially focus on survival, but it has now become an opportunity to strategically reshape the talent landscape for the long term.

  • Remote work and remote learning have become integral, and organisations are exploring a mix of remote and in-person approaches to maintain both flexibility and a sense of community.

  • The importance of intentionality and principles-based approaches in reimagining work, culture, and employee experience, allowing organisations to avoid unintentional consequences.

  • The pandemic has accelerated changes in talent acquisition, onboarding and development, enabling quick decision-making and growth in these areas.

  • Recognising and rewarding behaviours that contribute to building a sense of community and culture, even in remote work settings, is crucial for maintaining a strong organisational identity and connection among employees.
