The future of work will not look like it does today, nor will the future of recruiting. If businesses want to retain talent they have to shift from thinking in terms of hiring for a job to hiring for cultural fit and skills clusters. In this energetic presentation, Monica Parker takes you through the disruptors to business. You will learn the key attributes candidates are looking for in their next role, and the one quality you should be looking for in them.

Our world has been turned upside-down. Assumptions about how and where we work, what we can expect from our government and how we are connected to each other have raised new questions about our place in the world and what the new normal – if there ever is a new normal again – will be. With so much change, what actually stays the same? Based on academic research and an accompanying whitepaper, Monica Parker will take participants through a fascinating journey of humanity’s basic human needs, what we need to flourish, and how business leaders, communities and workplaces can enhance these in the future – whatever the future may hold. · Learn the science behind our basic human needs, and why humans will always seek these, regardless of disruption · Actionable advice on how to weave basic human needs into your workplace, leadership style and hiring practices

Since the 1970’s, Management by Walking Around (MBWA) has been seen as a primary mechanism for connecting with teams. But how do you ‘walk around’ a virtual team? And how do you keep a sense of connectedness and organisational culture when people aren’t co-located. Now that people will be working remotely, in some form or fashion, for the foreseeable future, its time for leaders to move beyond the technical aspects of remote work to the cultural. In this energetic presentation, Monica Parker guides participants through ways to build and reinforce collaboration, engagement and culture in a time of remote working. · Learn how remote working impacts team cohesion, how your leadership style needs to shift, and the single most important thing you should be looking for and encouraging in your business today · Practical tools to virtually connect and collaborate in a more effective way and reinforce culture in remote teams

Our brains are hardwired to resist disruption. We seek consistency because it soothes us and makes it easier for our brains to process information. But what happens when massive change is out of our control? Our brains immediately notice the dangers and differences in order to keep us safe, and this creates anxiety and low performance. There is a way to hack this feature of our minds, however, and find a more positive and effective way through disruption. In this scientifically grounded and yet inspiring session, Monica Parker illustrates the way our brain manage change and how we can shift our mental gears to a new way of thinking that harnesses, rather than resists disruption.

· Learn about our brains on change, how to ramp up neuroplasticity for better resiliency and how to reframe the negative aspects of existential change

· Brain hacks to start using today to better manage disruption and actually take advantage of the opportunities inherent in change
