The fourth industrial revolution is in full swing: a time in which almost everything becomes digital. The way we work has changed radically and permanently. For the first time, there are more vacancies than job applicants and more roles are emerging which all requires digital skills! This means we have to put effort into attracting and retaining the right talent. Led by Rick Nieman, speakers from different fields discuss how you can best bind talent.

During Microsoft Envision the Netherlands, talk show host Rick Nieman received our guest speakers from LinkedIn, ABN AMRO Bank, Achmea, Ahold Delhaize, Techionista, SURF, Gemeente Leiden, mboRijnland and Microsoft. Together they provided answers to the following questions:

The Great Reshuffle:
Recognize employees who want to keep learning
