Consider the alternative workforce, there is a huge opportunity…

“Begin thinking more provocatively about the alternative workforce. We need to stop considering them “alternative” and look to integrate them into our business and our cultures. There is a huge opportunity for organizations to leverage people in new capacities but it requires us to think broadly and in a different way about the workplace experiences for all people regardless of type.”
Focus on the challenges of reskilling and upskilling the workforce…
Steve Boese has over 20 years of experience implementing enterprise technologies for Human Resources, Recruiting, Finance, Distribution, including significant experience with Oracle Applications.

Steve has also been publishing for Human Resource Executive Magazine as technology editor and is the creator co-host of the weekly HR Happy Hour Show and Podcast, the longest running and most downloaded podcast about Human Resources.
“In 2020, HR and talent leaders should focus on the challenges of reskilling and upskilling the workforce in response to continuing disruption and transformation of work and workplaces. In order to provide the organization the set of capabilities and expertise needed to deliver on business strategies and drive positive outcomes for both the organization and for its people, new skills will have to be developed and existing skills must be enhanced. Matching capability with business needs will be a core focus area for most HR leaders next year and beyond.”
Identify and attract hard to find talent…
Dorothy Dalton is a global influencer in the future of recruitment, being a regular commentator and guest writer, speaker and trainer on HR and workplace trends.

“I think 2020 is going to be a busy year. Much will depend economies staying strong. The main areas will be identifying and attracting hard to find talent, upskilling existing employees and dealing with creating inclusive cultures. That means ramping up anti-harassment and sexism trainings post #MeToo and making a real effort to around diversity and not just about checking boxes. That’s before we get to the tech side and the impact that will have on jobs, managing multi-generational workforces and redefining what are now critical skills. There’s a lot to do!”
