INDUSTRY EXPERT KEYNOTE SPEAKERS!
Don Harkey: Are you Prepared For The Perfect Storm?
The Perfect Storm describes two major forces reshaping the job market: the retirement of experienced Baby Boomers without enough Gen Xers to replace them, leading to less experienced Millennials filling key roles, and an unprecedented labor shortage with more jobs than unemployed people due to low birth rates. This situation threatens organizations with talent shortages and a decline in expertise, affecting various areas such as payment collection, quality, and satisfaction. Join us to explore the impact of these trends and strategies for companies to protect themselves. As the CEO of People Centric, Don loves to help media companies adjust their machine to produce better results. He is highly strategic, process driven, and an engaging Keynote Speaker.
