Focus Zurich
Degreed Focus Zurich
In a world that is changing rapidly, organizations are challenged with driving performance by continuously re-skilling and up-skilling the workforce. Degreed Focus will explore insights into how to reshape thinking and tools to become more creative, more efficient and more effective.
As part of an international book circuit, the former CLO of LinkedIn and Yahoo, Kelly Palmer, will be in Zurich on November 15th for Degreed Focus. She will share ideas from the The Expertise Economy on how forward-thinking organizations are successfully increasing employee engagement through learning. Many organizations are used to scaling for efficiency and standardization, but there’s more to think about in order to succeed now. The most advanced L&D teams are adjusting their strategy, skill sets and tech stack to create the conditions for continuous learning: diverse, always-on and precision-targeted at business and individual skills gaps.
After Kelly's speaking session, Lawrence Hay and Emily Whittaker of Photobox will walk through how the UK based company was able to increase employee retention, engagement and up-skill its workforce.
Join Lawrence Hay, Group Director of Talent and Organizational Development and Emily Whittaker, Group Talent and Development Manager of the Photobox Group and Degreed’s Chief Learning officer, Kelly Palmer for an inspiring morning about learning transformation!
