The Future of Work: Unlocked

09:00

Adam Gibson · Director, Strategic Workforce Planning Leader · EY

Creating a Sustainable Workforce

The moral imperative for Agile Workforce Planning. In this provocative session, Adam will discuss the ‘three evils’ of the unsustainable workforce, their impact on the UN’s sustainable development goals and how to solve them with agile workforce planning.

09:30

Aušra Gabrėnaitė · Head of Strategic Workforce Planning & People Analytics · Nissan Motor Company

Defining and Planning the Journey from Operational to Strategic Workforce Planning

Everyone’s journey is unique – there is no ‘one size fits all’ when it comes to strategic workforce planning. As much as it’s an organisation’s journey, it may be also your professional one, and there is nothing more exciting than figuring it all out! In this session, Ausra will share how SWP has been – and still is – evolving within Nissan, and lead an open discussion with attendees about successes and objectives.

10:00

Martine Mason · Resource Augmentation Programme Director · NatWest Group

Real Plans for Real People – Bringing your SWP to Life Through Actionable Output

Martine joins Nick Kennedy for a fireside chat about how NatWest are enabling their workforce through SWP. They’ll discuss the most important actions and initiatives that Gemma and her team have implemented as a result of their SWP activity, and the measurable impact on the business. LEARN MORE

What gets Funded gets Done

Practitioners and enthusiasts know SWP is important, but getting budget unlocked for people and platforms can be a challenge. This session simplifies the conversation to three major ROI areas to enable your next funding conversation. Learn how to make an SWP business case with a clear framework that makes financial sense.

11:30

Dr Tatiana Villalobos Baum · Global Head of Talent Management and Sourcing · Allianz Global Investors

Global Strategic Workforce Planning – 5 Key Elements for Rolling Out

Megatrends are making the labour market more complicated than ever. The skills required for different profiles are changing, big attrition is also hitting hard, and the economic uncertainties are making workforce strategies complicated. In this presentation, Tatiana shares how SWP became a strategic priority for AGI, and how it was operationalised on a global scale. LEARN MORE

12:00

Matt Higgs · Head of Talent Intelligence · Babcock International Group

Strategic Workforce DOING

The truth is that busy executives, harassed managers and stretched HR teams don’t want data, a beautifully defined problem statement, or even a mathematical model describing how to “close the gap” – they want a prioritised task list and actions that yield demonstrable results. Matt presents a short case study on realising the benefit of an investment in SWP through actually doing something with the data. LEARN MORE

David Edwards · Advisory Services Director – Planning · Visier

Successful Workforce Planning Implementation Strategy

Workforce Planning implementation of any kind is hard, if you’re to realise the benefits it can deliver. But where do you start? What do you need to think about? What might trip you up along the way? David will offer some empirical insights on what can help to launch and succeed in your own WFP implementation – and some of the things you might want to avoid!

14:30

ROCHE

Vanessa Pietrobon · Strategic Workforce Planning Lead Roche Group – People & Culture

Embedding People Analytics in Strategic Workforce Planning

People Analytics and Talent Intelligence provide an essential data-driven resource and guidance system for Strategic Workforce Planning. Too often, companies rely on financial and resourcing data to plan their workforce strategy, without including a robust and analytical approach to understanding their existing workforce and external labour market. Learn how Roche Pharma is connecting these dots.

Creating a Job Architecture: The Journey of Creating a Job Family Framework

Rethinking and restructuring how roles and skills are categorised is becoming an essential next step in enabling Strategic Workforce Planning to be more agile and effective, and better serve the specific needs of the business. Join this final session with Gill and explore how to approach this mammoth task.
