HR Roundtable - The Future of Work (Jan 2022)

The Future of Work
What does your company need to know or do to stay relevant in attracting talent? Guest speaker Rick Farrant from Northeast Indiana Works joins us to discuss the changes we've seen in recent years in employees' expectations of employers. This engaging conversation will look at what future changes may look like and how you can best prepare your company.

In addition to overseeing the organization’s internal and external communications, he leads Northeast Indiana Works’ Education Workforce Innovation Network (EWIN), the Northeast Indiana Healthcare Consortium, and is currently developing in collaboration with community partners two grant-funded regional career awareness campaigns. Farrant is a published author and former longtime journalist. He serves on a number of education advisory committees, is a board member of Easterseals Arc of Northeast Indiana, and is chair of the Northeast Indiana Make-A-Wish Council. He is currently working on a book about an Ashley teenager who has been battling cancer.
