Description

Workforce Solutions Summit: Strengthening Recruitment, Retention, and Workplace Culture 

Designed for employers, service providers, leadership teams, and human resources professionals, this Summit will help organizations build a stronger, more engaged workforce by exploring strategies to attract and retain talent, foster a positive and inclusive workplace culture, and navigate the challenges employers face in today’s evolving professional landscape.

Featured Keynote: Beyond Headcount

Organizations are being asked to deliver more while the labour market continues to tighten. The answer cannot be hiring alone.

In this practical, engaging, and thought-provoking keynote, workforce-capacity speaker and bestselling author Eddie LeMoine will introduce his Beyond Headcount framework and explore how organizations can build greater workforce capacity by making the most of the people they already have.

The session will explore three connected opportunities:

• Human expansion: Widening the talent pools organizations consider, including broader approaches to age, culture, geography, and remote work.
• Emotional expansion: Recognizing the strengths employees bring and connecting those strengths to meaningful organizational goals to foster engagement, motivation, and discretionary effort.
• Reducing cognitive friction: Identifying where valuable time and attention are being lost and exploring how AI and automation can help reduce unnecessary workload and improve productivity.

Participants will leave with a new lens for thinking about recruitment, retention, engagement, and productivity, along with practical ideas they can take back to their workplaces and put into action.
