NEW TACTICS
The War of Talent has and will continue to be a key priority – it is important to learn and hear from others what strategies and best practice approaches are being implemented.
In an era of rapid technological advancement, shifting workforce demographics, and global economic uncertainties, talent acquisition and retention have become more critical than ever for organisations worldwide.
The global economic outlook continues to be influenced by factors such as geopolitical tensions, climate change, and the ongoing digital transformation across industries. In this context, companies face unique challenges in attracting, developing, and retaining top talent, particularly as they navigate the complexities of a multi-generational workforce.
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated many workplace trends, including remote work, digital collaboration, and a renewed focus on employee well-being. As we look towards 2025 and beyond, organisations must adapt their talent strategies to align with these evolving dynamics.
The rise of artificial intelligence and automation is reshaping job roles and skill requirements, making it essential for companies to not only attract tech-savvy talent but also to upskill and reskill their existing workforce.
Moreover, the entrance of Generation Z into the workforce brings new expectations and values to the workplace. This generation, born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s, is known for its digital nativity, desire for work-life balance, and strong emphasis on purpose-driven work and social responsibility.
Companies must tailor their Talent Acquisition and Retention strategies to meet the unique needs and aspirations of this cohort while also balancing the needs of other generations in the workforce.
In light of these factors, organisations that excel in talent acquisition and retention will have a significant competitive advantage. They will be better positioned to innovate, adapt to market changes, and drive sustainable growth.
This summit aims to explore cutting-edge strategies, technologies, and best practices that will enable companies to build resilient, diverse, and high-performing teams capable of thriving in the dynamic business landscape of 2025 and beyond.

Future-Proofing Your Workforce:
The Role of Internal Mobility for Talent Acquisition and Retention in 2025 & Beyond
According to LinkedIn’s Future of Recruiting Report, 75% of recruiting pros say internal recruiting will be an important factor shaping talent acquisition over the next five years. And a recent survey of nearly 3,000 C-suite executives showed that CEOs consider internal mobility a top priority.
Unfortunately, employees themselves aren’t always seeing a corresponding commitment to internal mobility as they think about next steps in their careers. According to LinkedIn’s Workplace Learning Report, only 15% of employees say their organization encouraged them to move to a new role. Clearly, just wanting internal mobility isn’t enough to make it happen.
There are often cultural and structural barriers that prevent organizations from offering the kind of internal mobility options they want to provide. To create an internal mobility program that both your employees and leadership crave, these barriers must be confronted and conquered.
