Widespread job reshuffling over the past few years has meant more oversight from boards of directors to help executives manage human resources issues such as attracting and retaining talent. Boards of directors have been asked for guidance on more and more HR issues in recent years and the challenges continue to mount. Join this special two-part series on HR issues as we examine what boards of directors need to consider as human capital management becomes an increasingly important part of the board’s fiduciary duties. Our panel of experts will discuss the current state of the labor market, how to attract talent, dealing with layoffs, impacts on DEI, operations, and branding, as well as the future of labor acquisition.
