Longer Term Impact on the Workplace: HR, the Economic Downturn and the New Normal - dialogue for local leaders to discuss best strategic practices in human resources. Our recently conducted survey provides interesting findings regarding the longer term impact of cash preservation measures (e.g., furloughs, pay cuts) on organizational performance. As we manage through this prolonged economic downturn and beyond crisis mode, how can we leverage talent to emerge better and stronger? How well positioned are you for growth? Come discuss the new realities of the workplace and employee engagement, with the human resources experts from QTI.
