1 Overview CPE credit | Personnel/HR
The balance of internal vs. external workers is shifting in many organizations, yet management practices still focus largely on employee-only workforces. How can HR executives work across the C-suite to strategically and operationally manage distributed, diverse workforces that cross internal and external boundaries? We’ll discuss:
- Workforce ecosystems as a new approach to manage interdependencies across the internal and external workforce aligned with business goals and values
- Examples of workforce ecosystems and their implications on strategy, leadership, culture, and technology
- Practical considerations for designing and adopting workforce management practices around ecosystems
