The Australian economy is faring well on a global scale, in comparison to some of the traditionally strong economies. Yet, within the country there are certain skill sets, regions and industries where competition is still fierce, where knowledge and talent is being lost, or hard to find in the first place. An aging population, with a sizeable proportion of the workforce facing retirement in the near future, and a lack of the right skills sets two of the key influencing factors on current and future recruitment issues. Some of the less glamorous industries face further hurdles as they need to overcome public perception problems.
Workable solutions are needed and plans need to be put into action now.
Skilling Australia Summit 2010 2010 provides a meeting place for human resources and senior decision and policy makers to come together to put ideas on the table, share practical strategies and to trigger action.
Some of the questions that will be debated at the
Skilling Summit 2010:
- How do you effectively source new talent?
- What can you do to reduce any brain drain ?
- What are you doing to compete with other potential employers for the best candidates?
- How do you plan to keep essential knowledge and experience within your organisation?
- What are you doing to prepare for a changing workforce demographic?
- What can you do to facilitate, and to benefit from, changing working lifestyles?
