With 40% of the Canadian workforce contingent by 2025, we need a new model for how we approach work. The Tree Approach gives us a new framework for how we envision our work life. It frees us up to imagine other possibilities besides a full-time, 30-year ladder job, and helps us adjust and adapt to new workforce models such as the contingent, alternative and flexible workforce models that use an on-demand approach to talent sourcing and hiring. The changing world of work doesn't have to be scary if we have effective models and strategies to support us.
Learning Outcomes:
Apply the Tree Approach Model to career planning and work search;
Use the Tree Approach Model to help clients navigate new workforce trends such as contingent, alternative, agile and flexible staffing models;
Analyze the effectiveness of the model in your work with clients
