Organisations are experiencing a period of rapid change, with a mass exodus of long-term employees as the baby boomers reach retirement age. This transformation of the employment landscape is highlighting crucial knowledge management and people capital issues, such as knowledge transfer and retention, effective succession planning, and a shift in the way employees transmit information.
The challenge for organisations is to recognise the contribution of the ageing workforce by identifying ways to retain the tacit knowledge gained through years of experience, while maintaining a competitive advantage in passing this information on to the next generation of workers coming through the ranks.
Recognition must also be made of the changing nature of the workforce in this era of low unemployment and the implications this has on knowledge retention and transfer for the organisation, as we move towards an workplace model where high staff-turnover and the use of contractors is increasing.
This two-day conference will examine the pressing issues facing human resource and knowledge management practitioners and stakeholders, arming you with techniques to:
* Improve recognition of the value of knowledge transfer and retention
* Engage relevant stakeholders with initiatives that improve the employee knowledge base
* Understand the changing nature of employee interaction and knowledge dissemination
* Negotiate the specific challenges associated with bringing knowledge out into the organisation
