The Changing Face of the Texas Labor Market

(2 hrs HRCI credit¹)

 Rich Froeschle

Deputy Director of the Texas Workforce Commission

Labor Market & Career Information Center

 There is a changing face to the Texas labor market. Demographic forces are putting a new twist on labor force availability. An increasingly global economy is creating innumerable opportunities in the U.S for those with the skills to take advantage of them. But globalization is also speeding the displacement of certain functions and jobs that were once the backbone of middle class America. New technologies and emerging business practices are shaping domestic job creation that puts some workers in improved positions, while others have seen their opportunities diminished. In all cases, this changing face of the labor market is putting added pressure on employers to find the right talent and on the education system to prepare the workforce of tomorrow. The Changing Face of the Texas Labor Market unfolds during this energetic, multi-dimensional presentation.

The study surveyed more than 760 organizations in 66 countries from a cross section of industries to determine the reward practices of global organizations during the next two to three years. Ryan will discuss reward ROI and the need to achieve a better balance between the financial management and motivational aspects of pay. Attend this session to learn how the erosion of financial capital has led to a renewed focus on the value of human capital and how organizations are moving from a cost-oriented to an investment-oriented reward mindset.
