Navigating Your Career in Today's Changing Economy
Tuesday, February 28, 12-1 p.m. EST
What’s the economy doing these days? With headlines about a labor shortage in some industries, layoffs at major companies, rising interest rates and a looming recession, it can seem today’s labor market is constantly shifting. In this session, we’ll talk about what can you do to navigate your career in today’s changing economy — from “quiet quitting” to how companies competing for talent. HR leaders Latoya Asia J.D. ’09, director of talent acquisition and workforce planning at Dominion Energy, Kristen Vaughan ’00, managing director, Operations Growth Platform at Accenture Federal Services, Clarke Havener ’80, partner at Odgers Berndtson, and Kelsey Weissgold '11, global lead for IBM's alumni program, will discuss latest trends as well as best practices for negotiating the position and salary you want or hiring the staff you need.
This event is part of William & Mary's Professional Development Week (February 27-March 3). All week long the W&M community will focus on celebrating our W&M network and professional affinities. No matter what stage of your career you are in, don’t miss this great opportunity to connect with and leverage your lifelong W&M network for professional success! #OneTribeOneNetwork
