WORKFORCE TRENDS

Trends of the Contingent Workforce Talent Seminar

by wpengine on March 3, 2014 in News

 

Last Thursday, we held our second Outside-In® Talent Seminar of 2014, Trends of the Contingent Workforce. Business professionals and knowledge-seeking individuals joined us at Newark’s own Klondike Kate’s for some hand shaking, a hot breakfast, and a very illuminating discussion.

workforceFounder and CEO of the Outside-In® Companies, Chris Burkhard, led the conference on the realities of today’s evolving workforce. Through discussing the outlooks of the three different age brackets, Chris illustrated how the nature of employment is evolving, and how the workforce (people) and the structure of work (business) are rapidly changing. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that there are now 2.78 million contract and temp workers in the U.S.—an all time high! This increase proves that a structural shift is occurring as the career system is quickly evolving.

Many of our guests provided positive feedback about Chris’s natural ability to public speak as well as the networking and intriguing discussions that occurred afterwards. “I appreciated the upbeat atmosphere and the opportunity to meet some different folks from the community,” said Patricia Dill. “Chris’s comments were interesting and thought provoking. My daughter and her beau are in the demographic he discussed and they are both seeking work that is meaningful. They want whatever they end up doing to have an impact in addition to paying the bills.”

We’ll be offering eight more seminars this year, continuing Thursday, March 27th with The Importance of Planning your Workforce and Working your Talent Plan, presented by Outside-In® Group Lead Lisa Van Ess.
