The Workforce of Tomorrow: Impact of Outsourcing
and Impending Crisis - Too Many Jobs, Too Few People
 As
Baby Boomers retire in unprecedented numbers, there will be
literally fewer bodies to fill jobs left behind. This
impending labor crisis means your organization must begin its
succession planning today. If your team has identified
qualified candidates to lead the organization into the future,
you’re one of the rare few. Most have not. We will explore
what it takes to attract, train, and retain this upcoming
generation of leaders.
The session will also cover how outsourcing
is impacting our country's labor force. For example, the
technology, heath care and even the legal sectors are
currently sending tens of thousands of jobs overseas to save
costs and utilize foreign talent. Countries such as India and
Ireland have been the beneficiary of thousands of jobs
traditionally conducted by American workers. The positives
and negatives of outsourcing will be explored, as will whether
or not this is a workforce trend that will last.
