Wednesday 23rd April 2025 @ 14:30 Keynote 1 Theatre

Keynote panel from PepsiCo, Utility Warehouse and Netflix on Building Scalable Teams for a Future-Fit Workforce

The workforce has gone through a period of transformation over the last decade, where traditional talent models have shifted beyond recognition. Today, flexible teams made up of contractors, freelancers, sole traders and so forth, make up a significant portion of the labor market and form a strategic advantage for many global organisations. This session will explore how leaders in three distinct industries are evolving their workplace strategies whilst leveraging technology to build future-fit, responsive and resilient global workforces.

Key learnings:

  • Organisations are moving away from rigid workforce models, shifting from a sole focus on jobs to a blend of skills-focused hiring. 
  • Non-permanent workers are being used as a strategic lever for many global organisations in order to boost competitive advantage, and respond to market changes. 
  • The demand for specialised skills and on-demand availability means leaders must leverage technology to be able to effectively manage an increasingly diverse, global and mobile workforce.
