HR Leaders Collective Vancouver
20+ HR leaders in tech. Industry-leading expert facilitators. 1 top-of-mind challenge facing the industry. An infinite number of creative ideas and solutions. HR Leaders Collective is a structured think tank that aims to activate collective knowledge — brokering ideas, stimulating debate, and offering creative yet practical solutions. The key outcome is a branded ebook that will be shared with the broader HR community. We are currently curating challenges and themes for the next group of HR Leaders Collective events – Montreal, Vancouver, New York City and more. Vancouver will take place on November 3, 2022, at Thinkific‘s beautiful downtown space. We are proud to be partnering with Hibob and TAP Network on this edition of the HR Leaders Collective.
The topic of this particular Collective is workforce planning in a highly disruptive, constantly changing and volatile business climate. After the pandemic started in early 2020, the world experienced many significant and immediate changes. Within the technology industry, many of the changes that our workplaces experienced have remained; many have benefited organizations and talent alike, and many have caused hardships such as burnout, heightened financial stress, lack of physical activity and mental health instability. It may be cliche but the future of work will look very different than it does today – HR leaders have the extremely difficult task of rethinking how they build HR strategies for their organizations that will enable them to realize business success and keep their employees motivated, engaged and healthy. Workplace planning for the future is no easy feat, and some of the brightest HR leadership minds in the Vancouver tech community will come together on November 3rd to start the process of “figuring this out”.
Collective partner, Hibob, recently launched a workforce planning module – they are the only HRIS with native workforce planning capability for mid-sized and growing organizations.
