What is an OpenCurrnt™ and why is it different?
keyboard_arrow_down
What is a “Pitch an Idea”?
It’s a super-short 20 sec. video that allows you to share an idea, an opportunity, or simply introduce yourself to the audience. People can not comment on it, but they can send you a direct message via chat.

Panel
The Future of Employee Benefits
As the world begins to recover from the pandemic, we want to explore how the needs of employee benefits have shifted and how organizations are adjusting HR priorities to meet these needs.
Panel
Trends Reshaping the Future of Work and Talent Management
Workforce disruption and changes are happening at an unprecedented pace. Staying ahead of these workforce trends and disruptions is even more important for business leaders today as they look to effectively acquire, train, manage, and grow their talent. To better understand workforce disruption, we're assembling an online advisory panel of human resources and other workforce professionals, including leaders in HR, workforce planning, talent acquisition, and others.
With this panel we seek to explore and understand these trends and their implications on the workforce today and in the future. We'll discuss the technological, social, economic, demographic, environmental, and geopolitical shifts that are shaping the landscape of HR functions - including employee benefits, employee retention, talent acquisition, etc.
We are asking experts to engage in an ongoing brainstorming discussion to validate trends and high-level thinking. Once approved for the panel (usually within 24 hours) you can come in at your own convenience.

With companies calling on staff to stay out of offices and work remotely, many seized the opportunity to temporarily move to another town, city, or even country. Workcations are growing ever more popular, so much so that Germany’s biggest tourist agency has begun specifically catering to this market.

How To Move Beyond Remote Work And Create A Workforce Ecosystem
Nearly two-and-a-half years after the pandemic forced businesses around the world to embrace remote working, debate continues to rage over whether this will just be a passing fad or whether we are at the beginning of a fundamental shift in how and where work is done.

Organizations today are increasingly relying not only on full and part-time employees but also on a more expansive and connected group of contributors: a workforce ecosystem.
These structures include long-term contractors, temporary gig workers, subcontractors, complementors such as app developers, employees, and others. Orchestrating them requires new approaches to leadership, new technologies, and new management practices.

A new level of productivity is being realised. The time saved in transporting to and from offices is helping strike a good work life balance.
Virtual employee engagement activities are seeing a lot of creativity. That said, meeting all the colleagues at office is incomparable.

In the long run, companies that choose not to lean into some form of a remote model might see their ability to attract talent falter.
Workers who say they prefer an office-only approach represent an extremely small slice—just 2%. Furthermore, some serious cost savings may be missed, the remote model can save an employer up to $10,000 a year, per employee, from real estate costs alone.

The pandemic acted as a seismic catalyst to workplace policy, with potential proof of concepts being found that people work longer and more efficiently remotely. With the change in societal conditions, media budgets are being spread very differently juxtaposed to pre-pandemic times.
A study from Forrester Consulting, on behalf of Microsoft, found that 81% of brands now feel that social media is a much more important part of their marketing strategy than ever before due to the change in consumer habits.

Loneliness and isolation are the largest concern amongst remote workers and its effects can go further than affecting just the individual. Some symptoms of isolation include increased stress levels and bad decision making. For an employer, these are concerning characteristics for someone who has crucial responsibility

Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin said that he invited his employees back into the office because he believes that a remote workforce hinders innovation and creativity, according to Newsweek. The billionaire bemoaned the “significant loss” of connectivity caused by Zoom sessions, but stated that all Citadel employees, with the exception of those in a few Asian jurisdictions, have returned to work.

New frontiers of hybrid work take shape for the post-Covid world
After more than a year of remote work, the future looks hybrid: a mix of office and home-based working.
The hope in many companies is that this sort of working pattern will allow employees to do focused work at home, reduce commutes and enable them to better balance professional and personal lives. In turn, offices will become a destination for innovation, collaboration, networking, coaching and socialising.
