The U.S. employment picture continues to look bleak.  But, we will recover from this jobless recovery.
Or, won’t we?

Join:       

  • Professor Kevin Hallock, Joseph R. Rich '80 Professor and Director, Institute for Compensation Studies, ILR School of Cornell University
  • Steven Berkenfeld, ILR ’81 and Managing Director, Investment Banking Division, Barclays Capital
  • Frank Koller, economic journalist and author of Spark- How Old-Fashioned Values Drive a Twenty-First Century Corporation: Lessons from Lincoln Electric’s Unique Guaranteed Employment Program

in a lively discussion of how corporate leaders and the financial markets view management strategies relating to layoffs vs. employment.

  • Is the accelerated use of workplace technology permanently reducing the need for labor?
  • How can a company be profitable without layoffs?
  • Does the “market” ever reward a pro-employment management philosophy?
  • Is employing more technology and fewer people unavoidable?
  • Could policy initiatives and market incentives stimulate sustainable job growth?
