Are you navigating the ever-shifting landscape of HR and leadership in New Zealand? Feeling the squeeze of talent shortages?  Struggling with leadership and middle management challenges?  All the while struggling to raise HR’s influence in your workplace?
Then join us for a special long-form podcast-style webinar where we'll dive deep into these critical issues and explore actionable insights for a thriving future of work.
What's on the Horizon? We'll be tackling themes like:
•    The Talent Tango: We'll unpack the current imbalance of candidates and roles, the lure of Australia, and what we can do to retain our top talent.
•    Beyond Spreadsheets: Embracing Data-Driven HR & AI :  We'll explore the immense opportunity to leverage technology & data for better decision-making in hiring, training, development, and fostering self awareness.
•    HR: From Tactical to Transformative: Are you tired of fighting fires? We'll delve into how HR can become truly commercial, proving its value by solving real business problems and contributing to strategic direction.
•    Reigniting Leadership:. We'll discuss the challenges facing leaders today.  Employee burnout, increased demands, and how to cultivate resilient and effective leadership in your management teams..
Joining Andy Foy in this discussion will be Dr Matt Poepsel.   Matt is a leader in managing talent and leadership development. He will be able to provide a unique insight and practical application to these challenges from what he is seeing and experiencing in the US and further afield.
