In the first episode of 2024, Bill Banham talks with Chris Bjorling about what to expect from the labor market in 2024.

Listen too as they talk about ways AI will continue to augment the HR function plus they preview some key industry events in the year ahead!

Topics include:

• The Labor Department's Job Openings and LaborTurnover Survey, or JOLTS report, recently showed that there were 1.34 vacancies for every unemployed person in October, the lowest since August 2021 and down from 1.47 in September.  Fewer workers are resigning, which over time could help ease wage inflation. If fewer workers are resigning, what does that mean/what challenges does that present for attracting talent in 2024?
• Fewer workers are resigning so what opportunities does that present for long-term training, professional development and improving the overall performance of the org? What other factors could shape things in 2024? E.g. Presidential election, the war in Ukraine, war in Israel and Palestine, elections for the European Parliament, President Trump’s trial, Putin seeking re-election, the solar eclipse!
• What tech trends should HR professionals keep an eye on in 2024? Where is AI taking us? 
• What are some of the must-attend HR events in 2024?
