Making Sense of the Labor Market with Gad Levanon

There are three key changes impacting today’s labor market – a
changing workforce composition, evolving attitudes towards work,
and new tools and technologies to empower employees and
candidates. HR leaders must understand the implications of these
changes as they set talent strategies and build out capabilities
for their organizations. Gad Levanon, Chief Economist of the
Burning Glass Institute, joins the Talent Angle to discuss
evolving dynamics in the labor market and offer practical
recommendations to HR leaders. He explains how organizations must
pull a variety of levers, from technology
to rewards and learning programs, at the same time to gain an
edge in the talent market.
