13:00 Masterclass Hosted by GoCatalant on ‘The Agile Workforce: How New Talent Models Help Pharmaceutical Companies Compete’

Private Lunch With talent management top of the procurement leadership agenda today this is a must-attend session for all Pharma procurement team leaders. The way we work is changing. By 2020, 40% of the workforce will be engaged in some type of freelance work. We’re seeing this trend move beyond services like Uber into more traditional methods of work as many of the best and brightest in business are starting to work differently. They’re seeking out more flexible ways to work, and picking and choosing what they work on and when. This shift is creating an on-demand workforce that companies of all sizes can benefit from.

Innovative pharmaceutical companies are starting to incorporate contingent/flexible workforce strategies as they rethink the way they structure and engage their workforce. Taking advantage of this new on-demand nature of work allows companies to be agile, efficient, and drive better outcomes by accessing the right skillset exactly when needed. This Masterclass will explore the catalysts for this shift, share detailed examples from pharmaceutical industry leaders, and discuss the role procurement plays in preparing companies for this future.
