WHERE:   
This is a virtual event. Visit the SHRM-Atlanta webinar page to register and get more information. Registration is complimentary for SHRM-Atlanta members and $30 for all other attendees.

DETAILS:   
Employees are motivated by both basic and higher sets of needs, which can be supported by key findings from Randstad's recent Workplace 2025 study and a long-standing psychological theory known as Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. As a workplace futurist, Link will cover how automation and digital technologies will impact companies' ability to attract, retain and manage talent. Webinar attendees will learn:

• Which needs in Maslow's Hierarchy can be supported through technology, such as flexibility, connectivity and self-empowerment.

• About the trends shaping the post-digital workplace and how they're adding value or inhibiting the human element.

• Workplace strategies that will maximize human connection in the workplace when dealing with virtual workers, automation, cognitive technologies, collaborative digital infrastructures and machine decision-making.

• How failing to adapt to a more agile work environment will cause some companies to lose skilled talent.

Human resources and hiring professionals, as well as forward-thinking business leaders are encouraged to attend. Registration is open through January 26, 2018. To register, visit SHRM-Atlanta.
