Hiring has never been more difficult. Long-term labor-force factors combined with the disruptions from COVID have created a shortage of candidates across many industries.

The result is that talent acquisition professionals must account for rapidly changing organizational and human priorities while dealing with constant pressure to reduce friction and make new hires faster to secure the best from the available candidate pool.

So, what is most important?

In a massive labor shortage, how can you not prioritize hiring speed? But what about hiring for diversity? And quality of hire? Shouldn’t you be focused on finding the employees most likely to stay on the job? And where does all this leave the candidate experience?

The truth is you must figure out how to prioritize and hire for all the above. Otherwise, you’re short-changing your hiring process and your candidates—and inviting additional hiring failure down the road.

Your best strategy, even during times of tremendous pressure to hire quickly, is to leverage the automation and evaluation tools that get hiring right—at a time when doing so has never been more important.

Good hiring technology means not having to choose one hiring priority over another.

• How an overemphasis on one or two priorities can negatively impact your data, hiring results, and candidates

Don’t miss your chance to see firsthand how trusted science, proven technology, and an unrivaled candidate experience combine to create a consistent, fair, informative, and data-driven hiring process that will enable you to hire your most diverse, engaged, and productive workforce ever regardless of candidate volume.

Littered with crisis after crisis – the chronic disappointment and emotional exhaustion caused by a reality in turmoil. Businesses are seeing the negative effects of a worn-down workforce – and it’s no different for those in HR.

If companies looked to CFOs to bring them back from the brink during the 2008 global financial crisis, recovery from the pandemic, return to the workplace, and hybrid work strategies fall squarely on the shoulders of HR leaders.

The pandemic has made the pressures pile on especially around critical topics such as employee health, safety, and wellbeing, all now C-suite issues.

Even when flexible in the face of change and uncertainty, if HR can’t bounce back after a setback, they’re at high risk of burnout. And employees need HR leaders to model the skills needed to not simply survive, but to thrive. Science has proven that the skills of resilience can be learned and their impact amplified when combined with the skills of agility.

Hear from Dr. Andrew J. Shatté (LinkedIn profile) Co-founder, Chief Science Officer meQuilibrium, on the science behind resilience and how it can equip you to handle the pile-on of pressures by building resilience for yourself and then having the ability to model and mentor your workforce to lead your organization’s path forward.

Learn:

• The rising pressures coming out the world’s ongoing uncertainty and complexities
• Turning reaction, from stress to burnout, into action with the skills of resilience
• How you can model resilient behavior and build it in your workforce at large

So many HR leaders are grappling with how to turn-around the Great Resignation and high rates of disengagement and to attract, retain, and engage talent.

So many L&D leaders are scrambling to provide training resources to help employees cope with burnout, stress, and overwhelm as they struggle to manage hybrid work, return to work, and work-life balance.

Often the solution is another new initiative (engagement survey, training program, etc.) that while well-intentioned, can seem “top-down,” “one more thing to do,” and miss the mark. What if there were a way to leverage real-time change challenges as “pop-up learning labs” where people could work together in their in-tact teams to learn, grow, and invent their own solutions together?

In this session, Barbara Trautlein will give you practical techniques and tools to launch and facilitate these “pop-up learning labs” in your organization.

You’ll learn how to:

• Engage the Heart—nurture psychological safety fostering commitment to each other and the organization.
• Enlighten the Head—help people see the line of sight between what they do and why it matters inspiring a shared purpose to the mission.
• Equip the Hands—promote agility while maintaining stability to mitigate burnout and navigate more confident
