Workshop Format

Delegates will be contacted before the workshop to explore how it could be adapted to meet their specific needs and to identify topics that they would like to share with other delegates.  This ensures that the event is very interactive and is rich in up-to-the minute case study material.

Questions that the workshop will address:
 
• What will the age profile of the West and other similar societies be like in twenty years time?
o What are the implications of an aging society, i.e. recruitment; retaining older staff; pension funds

• Should there be a close relationship between the demography (age, gender and ethnicity) of our workforce and our customers?
o To what extent does the demography of our workforce match that of our customers?

• What are the benefits of analysing where our staff live?
o Where do our staff live?

• Are we sitting on demographic time-bomb with retirements just around the corner?

• Where will we get our future staff from?

• Where should we be located, in the UK or abroad?

• Is class an outmoded classification?
o How useful are marketing socio-economic classifications such as Mosaic?

• What demographic statistics should the HR department produce, for whom and how often?
o How to make them interesting and relevant

The following topics and sources of information will be covered:
 
The Census, age profile, the working population, distance travelled to work
Labour markets, Local; regional national; international
Classification systems: Acorn
Labour market statistics
Skills and learning organisations, Learning and Skills Councils, The Sector Skills Development Agency, Skills for Business network
