## Story

"When planning your workforce in 2020 and beyond, there are many factors to consider - from wage issues in a tight labor market to ensuring your organization is attractive to the five generations at work and the various demographics that make up our current workforce," said Lynn Billing, senior vice president at Spherion. "During the webinar, we will share planning strategies and best practices around the critical workforce issues of the next decade and the importance of being an employer of choice to successfully compete for talent in the future."

According to Spherion's annual Emerging Workforce Study, almost three-quarters of U.S. employers report being more worried about the talent shortage, citing finding qualified/skilled workers and turnover/retention as top concerns. Additionally, employers cite employee engagement as a top concern when thinking about their workforce.

Billing, a seasoned workforce planning expert who has been with Spherion for more than 18 years, will lead the webinar, sharing insights and practical tips about how to effectively plan the size, skills and structure of workforce organizations to drive business performance.

Specifically, the webinar will address:

- The fundamental questions to consider during workforce planning for the upcoming year

- Best practices for attracting and recruiting top-tier talent

- Strategies for engaging and retaining your workforce

- The components of a succession plan and why it is critical to have one
