We are really excited to be a sponsor for the Center of Energy Workforce Development for October 7 through 9 in Indianapolis.  Vemo has really been focusing on how we can be the ideal supplier of workforce planning and analytics to the Energy industry, which faces almost all of the prevalent issues that drive the need for workforce planning: high levels of retirement and retirement eligibility, risk of brain-drain, declining talent supply, long time to skill maturity for craft labor positions, and a business model that is impacted by the external and regulatory landscape.

We look forward to talking to attending organizations about how we can help, and also hear ideas about how we can focus our products and services to best service the Energy sector.

See you at CEWD!

Vemo is at booth 540, and I’m also doing a presentation on Wednesday, September 30 at 3:15pm with Marsha Johnson, SVP HR and Chief Diversity Officer of the Southern Company and Ed Newman of the Newman Group: “Finding a Vendor, The Doing Workforce Planning.”

I’m looking forward to this format, devised by Bill Kutik, because I think that’s what organizations want to see:  what were the criteria for picking a vendor and how do you filter through all the perceived needs to the actual requirements?  Then what does implementation look like in the first 6 months to 1 year.

See you at HR Tech!
