Today's employers face a number of challenges, from finding top talent in a competitive landscape and engaging current employees, to integrating mobile technology, leveraging the promise of big data, contending with the impacts of the Affordable Care Act and ensuring compliance for all workforce management activities. Each of these issues and more have a significant impact on business today, introducing new challenges to how companies manage their workforce.
Collaborate '16 is designed to gather together thought leaders, industry experts and top brands to share their insights and expertise on workforce management and provide the audience with the knowledge to improve their workforce management strategies. Through a robust schedule of sessions led by the premier HR, technology, workforce and service industry experts, attendees will learn about the best practices and leading trends that can transform how they perform their jobs. They will also see the latest product innovations to emerge from PeopleMatter as the company continues to revolutionize how service industry employers hire, train and manage high-performing workforces.
"Collaborate provides the venue for us to personally connect with our clients, learn their biggest workforce management pain points and show how we're continually developing the cutting-edge solutions to solve them," said Nate DaPore, president and CEO of PeopleMatter. "We expect Collaborate '16 to be our most successful yet and are currently assembling a roster of the industry's most preeminent thought leaders and the companies that have pioneered new methods in workforce management to share their experiences with our audience. It is our pleasure to once again invite our client network and any individuals looking to transform workforce management at their organizations to benefit from this conference and enjoy all that Charleston has to offer."
