COVID-19 disrupted labor markets all over the world with drastic and sudden short-term effects, and the recovery poses an unprecedented and complex challenge for business leaders who must withstand a global economic crisis in uncertain conditions and build a more resilient, futureproof organizations with an adaptive workforce.
A resilient organization does not return to where it was before the crisis. It will be transformed, by the implementation of new protocols, attitudes, more agility, and structures enabling the organization to not just recover, but be better.
At the Competitive Workforce conference, we look at the key challenges resilient leaders must address to emerge stronger after the pandemic.

How do you reintegrate and strengthen your workforce?
How do you build your talent pool?
