From labor shortage to attractive employer brand

How do you, as a sector, ensure that people not only flow in but also stay longer, especially now that AI is changing the work and absenteeism continues to rise?

On October 29th, we will dive into what attractive employershop requires from employers and interest groups, together with employer-economist and labor market strategist Wim Davidse and Sepp Haans of Freshheads.

Why you want to be part of this

You get an update on the current state of the labor market.
Wim Davidse deelt zijn visie op AI, sickness absence and attractive employers.
You gain insight into the trends at play and the answer to the question: how do you retain employees longer within your sector?
You exchange ideas and experiences with experts and professionals from other interest and branch organizations.

We consciously keep the group small. With a maximum of 25 participants, there is plenty of room for discussion, questions and experiences from different sectors.

“A valuable session for professionals who really want to take attractive employers up a level within their sector.”

– Wim Davidse, Labor Market Strategist

Who is this interesting for?

This session is for organizations that want to position their sector stronger in the labor market. For professionals who provide direction and make decisions about solutions and services for recruiting, engaging, and retaining workforce. Think of professionals from trade associations, interest groups, and large employers, such as:

Directors and board members
Program and project managers
(Policy) advisor labor market
Manager labor market / labor affairs

What topics are covered?

The role of the industry association: how you help employers within your sector to make attractive employershop concrete and to improve it.
From influx to retention: why attractive employershop is needed to not only attract people, but also to retain them.
AI and employershop: what the implementation of AI means for your organization, employees and employershop. Tasks and jobs change or disappear, and that requires attention to how you involve and engage employees in this process. AI is therefore not just a technological development, but also has an impact on organizational processes and organizational change.
Sickness absence: how do we ensure that sickness absence decreases in the sector? What influence do you have on this yourself as an employer and how do you take control?
The role of leadership: how good leadership contributes to commitment, development and retention of employees.

“We bring professionals from different sectors together to share experiences and discover together what attractive employer branding requires in practice.”

– Sepp Haans, Labor Market Expert
