The Digital Revolution has changed profoundly the nature of work. New digital technologies such as artificial intelligence, blockchains, virtual and augmented reality, Internet of Things and HR analytics have been instrumental in developing new ways of working and new forms of work organisations. 

Join us for the World Employment Conference 2023 and let’s explore together how to orchestrate digitalization for better labour markets!

Over the last two years, the Covid pandemic has dramatically accelerated the digitalisation of companies and given people work flexibility, allowing many of us to work when and where we choose. 

The challenges and opportunities facing the HR Services industry have never been greater. 

For many companies, digitalisation has improved business efficiency, boosted innovation and opened up new markets. At the same time, understanding the many new ways in which workers and employers can engage in work is a fundamental need for employers seeking to harness their workforce’s potential and their business sustainability. 

The conference will assess to what extent digitalisation has already transformed the employee-employer relationship and how policymakers have been adapting our legal frameworks to those massive technological changes. The conference will also explore the rise of new digital solutions (e.g. Metaverse) and their impacts on tomorrow’s labour markets and the overall HR Services industry.

Our participants are opinion leaders in the world of work. They represent a global community of professionals that gathers once a year to share ideas and build new relationships.

It actually brings together kind of 3 worlds: the policymakers, our industry and all the thought-leaders in it and the people from the academic world. And that’s kind of a unique position.

All the discussions have always been serious and rich and grounded, really on the realities. And because of the combination of these elements, the World Employment Conferences are always leading to concrete actions to improve labour markets.

It’s tapping into a network of people around the world who are looking at the labour market, sharing ideas, debating, learning, and together figuring out how we can actually put this labour market truly into the 21st century.
