Workforce Readiness: Who Owns Employability?
An Executive Exchange on Mobility, Skills & the Future of Work
For CHROs and business leaders navigating the changing relationship between work, skills, careers and organisational responsibility.
AI is reshaping tasks and roles. Skills requirements are shifting. Organisations are under pressure to build critical capabilities while employees are being asked to take greater ownership of their careers.
But this raises a more difficult question:
Who actually owns employability?
Is it the organisation’s responsibility to prepare people for what comes next?
Should individuals be expected to continuously adapt and reskill?
And what role do leaders play in creating real opportunities for people to move, grow and remain relevant?
There are no easy answers and that is exactly the point.
Join us for an intimate Executive Roundtable with Swiss CHROs and business leaders to challenge assumptions and exchange perspectives on what workforce readiness really means today.
We’ll explore questions such as:
Who owns employability the organisation, the individual, or both?
If roles change because of AI, who owns the transition?
Are we investing too much in training and not enough in creating real opportunities to move and apply new skills?
Why does internal mobility remain difficult even when organisations say it is a priority?
Should managers be rewarded for developing talent that leaves their team?
When should organisations build, buy, borrow or automate capability?
And ultimately: could your organisation adapt if external hiring were no longer the default answer?
This will not be a panel discussion or a presentation of best practices.
Expect a candid, highly interactive exchange designed to surface different perspectives, challenge assumptions and learn from the experiences of others in the room.
The goal is not consensus.
It is to leave with better questions and perhaps a different view of what organisations, leaders and individuals need to own in preparing for what comes next.
