The SHRM Talent Conference & Expo is in full swing virtually and in person in Aurora, Colorado, at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center.
Top talent management continues to be key as nearly half (49%) of U.S. workers are actively searching for a new job right now, or plan to do so over the next few months. Talent professionals are coming together at the event to discuss how to attract, engage and retain top talent in a new world of work as they shape the future of talent management and build better workplaces for all.
Yesterday, Guild Education Chief People Officer and talent expert Lorna Hagen applied lessons she’s learned to the challenges of today on the Talent Main Stage in a conversation with SHRM Chief Global Development Officer Nick Schacht, SHRM-SCP. Additional key sessions focused on top recruiting trends for the years ahead including the importance of aligning what a company offers with what an employee needs, while highlighting the value of diversity.
Dan Hunter, founder at Workzinga presented on the Smart Stage yesterday. His session was called Aligning What You Offer With What They Need. I got a chance earlier today to chat with Dan, live from the SHRM Talent expo floor, to get his thoughts on the conference so far and what he’s hoping to see over the remaining two days.

Today, the SHRM Talent Conference features Seramount President Subha Barry in conversation with SHRM Foundation President Wendi Safstrom to address the importance of changing the workplace one employee at a time through the practice of sustained workplace equity, transparency, truth, and vulnerability.
Tomorrow, on the Talent Main Stage, pro athlete Tim Tebow will speak to some of the factors that impede or cultivate motivation in the workplace and how HR leaders can energize their team and create a healthy and inclusive work environment filled with productive workers.
“A good leader is willing to not only acquire new skills, but to reinvent themselves, when necessary,” said SHRM Chief Knowledge Officer Alex Alonso, Ph.D., SHRM-SCP. “Talent professionals will have the opportunity to hear how Tebow has consistently upskilled in his career as a sports commentator, author, speaker, entrepreneur and philanthropist, with takeaway lessons to apply as they mold the future of talent management.”
