Are You Investing in the Workforce of Tomorrow or the Workforce of Yesterday?
Gregory Cappelli, Jared Bernstein, David Burstein, Edith Cooper, John Donovan, Seth Harris, Greg Capelli, John Aucott, Jr., Mike Milkinson, Serena Ross
Moderated by Greg Capelli, a diverse panel of experts from the U.S. Department of Labor, AT&T, and Goldman Sachs debates whether a genuine skills gap exists or if the issue stems from poor employer preparation and outdated hiring models. Participants cite AT&T's successful reskilling initiative and Goldman Sachs' cultural pivot as evidence that defining roles by competency rather than job title can drastically improve retention and adaptability among millennial workers. Despite these corporate successes, the discussion concludes that systemic challenges like the gig economy's shift of training costs to individuals and automation threats to low-skill sectors require new policy frameworks and a fundamental rethinking of benefit structures.

The Puzzle of Personnel: Recruiting and Retaining Talent
Rich Colgard, Greg Capelli, Wei-Li Chong, Kay Foster Cheek, Paul McKinnon, Larry Kaiser
Industry leaders and researchers address a critical U.S. workforce disconnect where four million unfilled jobs coexist with thirty million unemployed individuals due to credentialism barriers and outdated training pipelines. Organizations such as Apollo Education Group and Onyx Pharmaceuticals are implementing simulation-based matching, decision science, and non-traditional benefits to assess innate capability and align talent strategies with business outcomes. These strategic shifts aim to resolve demographic mismatches, reduce high turnover rates, and replace traditional credentialism with data-driven methods that prioritize skill verification over formal degrees.
