About this Event
Venue: Grosvenor House Hotel, Dubai
How are the best employers in the Middle East recruiting and retaining the skills they need?
Why attend this event?
As employers across the Middle East face disruption, talent shortages, new employment models and increased expectations of equity, inclusion, and flexibility across the workplace, we will explore:
- How can Talent Leaders plan and deliver the skills needed to realise their strategic goals?
- How are new tools, digitalisation and approaches to employer brand, ED&I, and the candidate experience helping employers to compete for the best talent in a complex talent market?
- How can organisations hire for retention and increase internal mobility to reduce attrition into 2023?
- How can employers and staffing companies best work together to attract the best talent to the UAE and Middle East as global competition increases?
- How are recruiters adapting to their own talent and skills shortages and building their own employer brands?
- The Future of Talent Management in the UAE and across the Middle East
