Venue / Location Griffin House Free

Today’s talent landscape is more complex and competitive than ever. Employers must rethink how they design and deliver talent strategies that respond to rising expectations, increasing skills scarcity, and growing pressure for measurable business impact. This workshop will explore what truly enables organisations to stand out—and move from insight to action.

Alongside this, Talent Acquisition and workforce leaders are under increasing pressure to use data, intelligence, and AI responsibly to anticipate talent needs, identify skill gaps, and inform better decision-making. We’ll examine how workforce analytics and emerging technologies can support the human experience, enable smarter planning, and help organisations stay ahead of market change.

Join senior Talent Acquisition and HR leaders for a practical, insight-led workshop hosted by N Brown, focused on building future-ready talent strategies. Through expert keynotes, interactive panel discussions, and peer-led roundtables, we’ll explore how organisations can elevate TA as a strategic partner, strengthen employer brand and EVP, and prioritise effectively for the years ahead.

Key themes we’ll explore:

Talent Experience & Employer Value Proposition: Evolving the employee and candidate journey, and adapting employer brand and EVP to meet changing expectations across hybrid, diverse, and multi-generational workforces.

Business-Aligned Talent Strategy: How TA and people leaders can embed more deeply into the business to deliver integrated, long-term workforce solutions with measurable impact.

AI, Data & Human-Centred Innovation: Using AI and data responsibly to enhance the human experience, improve productivity, and move from experimentation to real business value.

The Future of Talent Acquisition: Elevating TA through insight and intelligence—using data to shift from delivery-focused functions to strategic workforce partners.
