Duane Morris Partner Jonathan Segal to Speak on "In the Year 2525"
April 23, 2012 | Philadelphia
| Loews Philadelphia Hotel
Duane Morris partner Jonathan Segal will be a keynote presenter on the subject of "In the Year 2525" at the 2012 CUPA-HR Eastern Region Conference on Monday, April 23, 2012.
In 2008, the economy was strong; you were hiring like mad; you looked at your 401(k) for a smile; wage and hour claims were not as common as sunrises; and social media was only for kids. Remember? When you think of where we are now, 2008 might as well be 1908. Now, flash forward to the year 2525. That's when 2012 will be as unrecognizable as 2008 is to us now. What might we expect in 2525? Very possibly, wage-and hour-claims will focus on the virtual workplace and there will be more age claims by baby boomers who cannot (or will not) retire but who are let go. White men will be a minority in some companies and we will see more claims by them. Customers will demand more immediate service but employees will demand more work-life balance. More of what HR professionals do will be outsourced to save money unless we figure out how to provide strategic value so we have value. And we have to do that without losing our minds. (Or, whatever is left of them.) Jonathan Segal will share insights on these and other issues during his keynote presentation.
