Ep 402: Reflecting Back, Looking Forward

Published: Dec. 29, 2021, 8:27 a.m.

So that was the year that was 2021. As we move into 2022, the seismic changes of the last 12 months have certainly given us a lot to reflect on.\xa0The Great Resignation, the AI revolution in talent acquisition, the redefinition of the workplace, the continued depth of focus on DE&I, the list is as long as is it significant. It is impossible to make predictions, but I think it's fair to say that 2022 is potentially even more significant as employers find new ways of dealing with the considerable talent challenges they face.\n\nSo what should we expect, and how do we process what has happened? I'm delighted to welcome Lars Schmidt back to the podcast as my last guest of 2021. Lars runs Amplify Talent, a boutique agency, HR leader development platform, and community that sits at the centre of the redefinition of HR. Lars is a passionate curator and facilitator of insights from some of the world's most innovative CHROs and is the perfect person to help us reflect and prepare for 2022.\n\nIn the interview, we discuss:\n\nWhat positives should we take from 2021\n\nWhen emergency measures drive long term changes\n\nThe opportunity to redefine the nature of work\n\nMoving from Synchronous to asynchronous in communication and collaboration\n\nWhat are the most innovative employers doing, and which CHROs are leading from the front?\n\nWhat is changing in talent acquisition\n\nCompelling value propositions\n\nPreboarding and onboarding\n\n\nIncreasing talent mobility and fluidity\n\nThe Metaverse and Web3\n\n\nThe future for hybrid working\n\nHopes for 2022\n\nListen to this podcast in Apple Podcasts.
