Ep. 1 Reconnecting the Workforce - a podcast by Talent Summit

Now that the workforce has been dislocated, how do we now plan to re-connect, hire, develop and manage remote and central talent. The COVID crisis harpooned us into the future of work over-night and by and large the WFH experiment has worked. Now that the working world has been turned on its head, it’s unlikely to return as it was. As restrictions lift over the coming weeks, how do we plan to: (1) transition from a remote to a blended workforce (2) reconvene in the physically restricted workplace (3) re-connect, collaborate and compete for talent as markets recover.

Joining Talent Summit founder Robert Mac Giolla Phádraig to discuss this is John Riordan, Chairman at Shopify International Ltd, and Stephanie White, Global Vice President of People at eBay. They explore:

• how eBay is staggering a return to the workplace in Asia


• how a fully distributed workforce works at Shopify


• how the talentscape is changing across Europe from Sigmar


• how to ultimately re-connect the workforce for a more effective talent-led recovery

Talent Summit's Back to Base Camp series brings some of Talent Summit's most popular keynote speakers and special guests back to share their insights, expertise, and thought leadership, as the working world experiences decades of transformation each passing week. We will explore how HR leaders can positively affect business continuity in the short term, grow market share in the medium term, and enhance the working lives of our people in the long term.
