The urgency to retain best-fit employees is reaching an all-time high as organizations endure a competitive, tight labor market, post-pandemic work models, and a variety of business priorities.

A quality employee experience is necessary, but it’s going to require more than raising salaries.

Employees want to learn new skills and evolve — and organizations must provide guidance through coaching and mentoring, as well as opportunities to practice what they’re learning to further their careers.

Join Benoit Hardy-Vallee, AVP, Talent Experience Strategy (LinkedIn profile) , and Christine Kensey, Sr Director, Global Organizational Effectiveness (LinkedIn profile) , share the latest trends and holistic approach to facilitating employee growth and improving the employee experience, including:

• How developing employees helps organizations retain talent during the post-pandemic, tight labor market
• Ways to grow top employees with learning programs that tie into career pathing
• Best practices for scaling talent growth and development
• How AI and automation enable employees to find best-fit opportunities to learn and evolve

How many times have you heard statements like:

• “How did we miss this in test”,
• “This defect doesn’t happen on my machine”,
• “We do not need automation”, or
• “We are waiting on testing to give us the green light”?

Far too often, teams are spending a lot of time diving into discussions that they no longer need to have. This builds frustration, affects team alignment, and can potentially impact the quality and milestones of the project.Through the years, we have seen a need for processes, tools, and old–school approaches to change.

Discussions we needed to have years ago are no longer the same now.

There is a need for strategic changes in how we operate within a project and how we communicate across teams.With over 25 years of experience in IT, Mike Lyles (LinkedIn profile) has held various roles: from developer, project management office, development management, and ultimately testing.

He has witnessed the paradigm shift required to measure success on teams and the speed at which we must reach goals as compared to the past. And most importantly, he has taken part in discussions which are losing their relevancy and need a major overhaul in our workforce today.

Join the discussion, between Rex and Mike, as they discuss many of the well–known phrases, philosophies, and theories around testing of years past, and how that we must overcome the obstacles to be successful today.

Nearly 18 months ago, the world was forced into a new way of working. Virtually overnight, knowledge workers had to figure out how to perform their jobs under a work-from-anywhere model.

The outcome was knowledge workers redefined how they work, and they continued to be productive — if not more productive in most cases.

Recently, the doors have been reopened and many versions of flexible working are being deployed. Throughout all this, the expectations of employees have changed as they demand greater flexibility in how, where, and when they work.

Welcome to the dawn of the empowered employee.

How do we create an optimized environment that meets the needs of the business and the demands of the empowered hybrid workforce? Tune in to this session to find out.
