In this compelling keynote episode of the Future Talent Podcast, we welcome Steve Cadigan, renowned talent strategist, LinkedIn’s first Chief HR Officer, and author of Workquake. Steve presents a thought-provoking analysis of the seismic shifts reshaping the world of work and talent development.

As organisations grapple with rapid change, evolving employee expectations, and the rise of new industries, Steve challenges conventional thinking and offers a bold vision for the future. He explores why skills, not job titles, are the new currency, why loyalty now lies with learning, and why traditional metrics like engagement scores may no longer serve us.

Key themes from this episode include:

• The shift from talent hoarding to talent ecosystems

• The growing importance of adaptability and learnability

• The cultural implications of AI adoption

• The need to redesign jobs and rethink career pathways

• Why organisations must become the benchmark, not follow one

This episode the Future Talent Podcast is essential listening for HR leaders, educators, policymakers, and anyone involved in shaping the future of talent.

Join us as we explore how to build resilient, future-ready organisations in a world defined by uncertainty and opportunity.
