In an increasingly competitive world, organisations are under pressure to get the most from their contingent and hourly workers. HR has a unique position to secure an agile workforce and ensure the talent it has is best placed to do the work required and is motivated to deliver.

Doing this is not just good for the organisation but can do wonders for the profile of HR and HR leaders as they are seen to make a direct contribution to the bottom line. In this webinar we will hear from HR leaders who are managing their agile workforce to maximise value and commitment. The conversation will be prompted by exclusive insights found in the results of Deputy’s annual survey of shift workers. The report will also be made available to all attendees.
