Afterwork Event: Why workforce planning matters when work keeps changing

Work is changing quickly. Job titles matter less than the skills people bring, and those skills are constantly evolving. As work becomes harder to predict, uncertainty makes planning essential rather than optional. Many organizations need to rethink how they approach workforce planning.

We invite you to come and see how organizations can adapt to the new reality. The discussion will look at skills that replace fixed roles, think ahead about future workforce needs, and use planning tools to support informed decisions. The event will combine research, discussion, and practical examples to show how short-term staffing plans can be aligned with longer-term talent development in an increasingly automated workplace.
