Expert panel to discuss changing employment dynamic

Three leading voices in HR will discuss the future of the relationship between employers and their staff in a HR Most Influential webcast at 1pm tomorrow.

InterContinental Hotels Group global VP of HR Tracy Robbins, Ashridge Strategic Management Centre director Stephen Bungay and Ceridian UK MD Doug Sawers will discuss managing multiple generations of workers, with a particular emphasis on the challenges Gen Y and millennials bring to the workplace.

Bungay is a leading expert in HR management. His book, The Art of Action, advocated seeing business as an organic organism instead of a machine. His views on employee engagement and business management are well respected.

As MD of Ceridian UK, Doug Sawers knows about managing a diverse workforce and draws on his nine years of experience at the company. He is a regular contributor to HR magazine, writing from an MD's perspective on a range on leadership issues.

Tracy Robbins manages one of the most international workforces in business at InterContinental Hotels Group. The hotel chain is filled with young staff from around the globe, so she offers insight into employee trends beyond the UK and as far afield as Asia and Australasia. She is also a strong advocate of employer brand, of which IHG is well known for.

Register here to watch this HR Most Influential panel debate tomorrow.

Discussion points will include:

  • What does the diverse, multi-generation workforce of today really want?
  • How has the dynamic between employer and employee changed in recent years and where is it heading?
  • What are organisations doing to adapt to this changing dynamic, eg employer brand, technology?
  • What is the challenge for HR?
