So how do you continue to innovate and keep your competitive edge in a turbulent economy? The solution lies in investing in talent development within the team you already have.

Masterclass 6 - The Workplace of the Future: How to Prepare for the next generation of Employees

Masterclass 9 - Elevating the role of HR: Move from silos to synergy with Total Talent Management  

How many people – employees and non-employees – are working across your company? Most businesses don’t really know. A lack of visibility of the entire workforce means HR can only apply processes to permanent talent. Procurement can’t control costs and your business is exposed to compliance risks. 

Total Talent Management (TTM) could provide the answer to managing your workforce efficiently as one cohesive unit. Join our session to discover how HR and Procurement teams can work together to create a successful TTM programme that includes all aspects of your workforce – including contractors, freelancers and gig workers. 

Key learnings
  • Understand how Total Talent Management can help you make better strategic staffing decisions and optimise human capital costs
  • Learn how Procurement and HR teams can work together to optimise workforce programmes  
  • The ability for hiring managers to determine the type of workers they need and how data can help to support this 
  • How you can help your supplier to create the right outcomes for your business
  • Understand how strategic workforce planning and management can create a competitive edge for your business
