What are the best strategies to win talent in the new social, demographic and cultural era

What are the best strategies to win talent in the new social, demographic and cultural era – Debate at Polish House Davos 2023

Today, leading global trends such as changing patterns of work and the increased importance of employees’ well-being along with high inflation and wage pressures, require companies to take decisive action to win talent. Business innovation and competitiveness can be fostered by talented individuals in the workplaces. Maintaining competitiveness requires the introduction of systemic solutions, including the expansion of the human resources base with the desired skills and adapting the education system to market needs. Technological advances, such as AI, automation and robotics, will create new jobs, but will also displace many. In order to prevent talent crisis, it will be necessary to upskill and reskill as many as one billion workers worldwide over the next decade. Is the development of approach towards digital skills and employer’s flexibility, enough to win in the global talent race? How business leaders can improve employee engagement and expand talent pipeline in the time of new social, demographic and cultural era?
