Jesse Hirsh “Talent & Opportunity in the Post-Pandemic Workplace” | NSB Engage Virtual Webinar

The pandemic has transformed work and learning, and this will be particularly evident as we emerge into a post-pandemic world. One person’s disruption is another person’s opportunity. Similarly, some organizations have responded with incredible resilience, and are experiencing unprecedented growth and success.

Historically, great crises and catastrophes are followed by renaissances and periods of incredible innovation. What is the difference between success and failure, between frustration and excitement? Talent. This is true for both individuals and organizations.

How do you foster and harness your talent? How do organizations attract, develop, and retain talent? These are crucial questions during this transitional period as we remain in a pandemic but seek our path out of it!

Key takeaways from this presentation include:

Talent is universal but its development is not. It requires investment, focus, and support, combined with a culture that recognizes it.
Talent is increasingly expensive, which is great for individuals, but a challenge for organizations. Flexible and nurturing work environments are necessary.
Talent enables resilience in the face of volatility as well as potentially helping to manage ongoing digital and organizational transformation.
