About the Panel Discussion

In an era of rapid technological change and shifting market dynamics, HR leaders are tasked with not only aligning talent strategies with business objectives but also ensuring their own teams are equipped with the skills necessary to deliver on these demands.

The ability to identify and bridge skill gaps within the workforce is crucial—but so is HR’s ability to develop themselves. They need to break free from time consuming low return admin and focus on the same skills they champion—such as data fluency, strategic problem-solving, and AI-driven workforce insights. HR professionals need to position themselves as true enablers of business success, driving both employee engagement and long-term organizational resilience.  

Join a us for a LIVE interactive panel discussion where you will learn practical strategies for identifying and closing skill gaps, not just within your workforce, but within HR itself. Discover how to leverage workforce intelligence, the latest AI developments, and strategic learning investments to drive business agility, strengthen internal mobility, and ensure HR is positioned to lead the way in workforce transformation.
