Tomorrows' trends in recruitment!


The recruiting industry went through some major changes in recent years and the transformation is still ongoing.

New technologies and advanced hiring practices undoubtedly played a hand, and it shows no signs of slowing down as we enter the new decade.

Video consumption and social apps containing video content are having an enormous spike and engagement. This has turned the heads of recruiters as well.

Upcoming trends include video-screening of talents, the rise of social media usage, and data analytics.

Recruiters more and more will experiment with AI models that provide deeper insights into the quality of their hires.

On top of all that, emotional intelligence will become a hot skill and employee experience will be at the heart of hiring.

LIMITED FREEDOM

The greatest motivation for employees is freedom of choice for tasks to be done, for targets to be reached, for motivation instruments to be chosen.

Meanwhile, it's very big dillema for the employers to decide what authority to give to what employees and at what level. Nowadays, with the available technology development there are many ways how to evaluate the performance of employees and to limit the freedom given, especially in regards of employee motivation.

The presentation will give an overview what are the possibilities and options for employee motivation and evaluation.

Exiting from the corona crisis: It's a very hazy crystal ball to look into...


Exit from the recession should be fast, given no imbalances were present before corona struck.
Overheating is even likely, given too much stimulus from the EU.

Expect some inflation - like a ketchup effect ... but how labour markets will look, adapt and change is hard to say: No data exists from a similar, previous event.

Expert Strategic Workforce Planning at Swedbank

Where are you with future-proofing your business and people?

The pace in which organisations need to adapt to meet arising demands is increasing.
We owe it to our customers, employees and society to be one step ahead of the curve so that we pave the most sustainable way to stay relevant and deliver value.

At its core, this involves a united effort between HR, strategy, finance and technology teams to translate the impact of our strategic decisions on our workforce and find solutions to bridge potential gaps.

We will share our experiences of this recently started journey:our strategic approach to workforce/talent planning.

It includes assessing the wider impact of change, building future scenarios, identifying change points and building nudges in everyday life – enabling our employees to be the drivers for future readiness.

At a practical level, this will be an illustration of "how to":
- outline future direction, identify critical competences and assess their availability in the market and internally in the organisation;
- evaluate the potential change and impact technology might have on our existing jobs;
- create an infrastructure to respond to the approaching development challenges.

How to attract top talent in uncertain times?


It's no news that Covid-19 has had a major impact on how organisations attract and engage with talent and there is no sign, that we are returning back to pre-pandemic "normality" anytime soon.

We all know that we need great talent to build great organisations, but how could we just not survive as a company in 2021, but really thrive?

How could we still hire the right skills, at the right time, in the right amounts?
What's the secret sauce?
Is there any?

Gamify all the things!

Gamification is a hot topic, but what does it actually mean and how can it change HR for the better?

As the talent pool changes, so do your employees expectations and what motives them.

Learn what a game is (and is not) and how game mechanics can help inspire and motivate your employees.

When applied correctly, gamification is a power tool for good, but when done wrong can have devastating consequences on your work force.

How has jobmarket changed during corona and what can we learn from it?


Past year has been hard for many and has led to behaviour in jobmarket that can be described with words: fear and uncertainty but also with words unexpected and advantageous.

Companies who know how to balance fear and uncertinty are most likely to be successful in recruitment, those who don´t are struggling with finding and holding suitable candidates.

In CV-Online presentation I will give insights about different surveys that we have done among employers and jobseekes that show how behaviour in jobmarket has changed and give suggestions how to use this information to get better results.

Surveys give overview why people are not applying and what triggers them to apply, how HR people have changed their everyday worklife, including recruitment methods.

Business HR (HR Director) at Nortal Germany

Future of work – what actually matters?

More than 1 year long worldwide remote work experiement has raised the question – how to keep employees engaged in the situation when people will come to the office maybe only once per quarter and F2F contacts with managers and team members are rather rare?

Can we hope that interesting job and a lot of flexibility will be enough to keep commitment in long-term perspective?
Or what actually matters?

Speaker will answer to that question through the aspects of culture and leaderhsip. She will share ideas and recommendations that are useful for every leader and HR professional who is struggling with the same questions.

Why managing your manager has become a critical competence in the post-covid world?

Working from home/remotely/anywhere means that the compensation mechanisms of poor management that kept the teams together and well-performing in the office, are not there to help anymore.

Today it is often up to the employee to help average/poor managers to become better managers and this skill is critical to ensure work results are delivered, employees mental health, and general wellbeing protected.

Customer Success Director at Visma

Employee experience. Does more of the "digital" means less of the "human"?

The marketing concept of customer experience is increasingly adopted in the HRM domain.

Companies want all of their employee interactions to be as smooth as possible and often adopt technology to help with achieving this goal.

What kind of technologies is helpful?

Can we overdo the usage of technologies and lose human connections?

Post-covid workplace, a sense-making session.

While the last year has caused a quantum leap in evolution of the workplace, it is exactly the next twelve months that will determine the future of each organization, for years to come.

Each business and each leader will have to explicitly decide on a myriad of matters related to workplace strategy. Should we allow to work from home? Should we limit remote days? Should we equip home offices and/or shrink the office space?

To answer these questions above, one has to look at how workplace works. How it impacts people, productivity and the bottomline. This is what this session will look at in detail: the link between workplace and profit; how working from home can contribute to those; and what needs to be considered when writing workplace futures.

Session will be led by Oļegs, Latvia's leading workplace strategist, who has helped some of the country's most valued employers navigate through workplace transformation.

Stop paying for the fax machine! Employee benefits for the 21st century.

Many workplaces still do benefits the old way - HR decides and the company enrolls it to all employees. Whether it is health insurance, on-site gym, swimming pool memberships, complimentary massages or yoga in the office - everyone gets it, but definitely not everyone uses it. Most of the time the benefit just sits in the corner collecting dust, eating the employee benefits budget in the process.

Oh, and the most challenging part? Every employee is different and has very unique needs, so how in the world HR function can stay on top of all the desires, hobbies and trends of the workforce? Well, we say they don't have to - only if they give the freedom of choice to the employee.

Join our presentations and be one of the first to get to know what is the future of employees' benefits programs. Spoiler alert - it's all about flexibility and customization.

What makes HR proud of its internal communication?


Modern corporate IC is hard. New technologies cater content to us based on our preferences, interests and interactions over time. This means that our expectations—when it comes to information consumption—are at an all-time high. Still, when most of us get to work every day, we're back to two main communication channels—email and Intranet. IC landed at HR almost suddenly and now a lot of people are trying hard to keep up. Is it really possible and what it takes? We asked HR managers what are the building blocks of great Internal Communication and what makes them proud about theirs? This is what we found out…
