WHILE INDUSTRIES ARE FINDING WAYS TO work around the pandemic disruptions through remote working, not everyone can work from home. Manufacturing is still grappling with the challenge of managing the workforce and working on strategies to keep their businesses running.
A virtual roundtable conference was organized to exchange ideas on strategies adopted by business leaders to ensure business continuity through workforce management.
The virtual roundtable conference supported by Manufacturing Today was presented by Ultimate Kronos Group (UKG), world leaders in the space of workforce management solutions.
The topic for the day was "Ensuring business continuity through workforce management strategies."
After a brief introduction to the event ITP Media India organizer, Editor Syed Ameen began by reaffirming the relevancy of the topic. Commenting on how organizations were handling their manpower during the pandemic challenge with the use of technology, he threw open the symposium for the thinkers gathered virtually for the round table conference.
THE AGENDA
Industry leaders from across sectors gathered virtually and set out to discuss de-risking the workforce, dwell on major trends in the industry and weigh in on the pros and cons of various solutions on display.
Importantly, the panelists were concerned about the non-availability of the right skilled people that threatens to cause significant disruptions to businesses and business plans. They set on the agenda the measures that can be undertaken to address the challenge.
The emergent trend of using a contingent workforce, the visible need for getting the workforce ready with agility in adopting change, and the safety and wellbeing of the workforce were the other agendas on the table.
