The future of employment in Jersey

IoD Jersey’s strategic priorities for the next two years were outlined in June and included prioritising engagement with NextGen leaders. Understanding their evolving employment needs and job market dynamics will be the focus of the next IoD Leaders’ Lunch.

The event, sponsored by Lloyds, will take place on Thursday, 19th September 2024, at The Royal Yacht, from 12.15 – 2.15pm.

Alex Ruddy, Chair of IoD Jersey, will open and close the event, providing key insights and summarising the discussions, with vice chair Simon Soar facilitating the session.

The panel for this event features a diverse group of experts and leaders:

• Ry Williams, Walkers Global
• Karolina Pilcher, Jersey Finance
• Hannah Samson, IoD/Skills Jersey
• Rory Steel, Digital Jersey
• Michael Kirkwood, Lifeline Group

The event will delve into the priorities of NextGen, examining how employment processes and job markets are evolving, particularly focusing on the ‘gig’ job market. The discussion will include perspectives from skills professionals, HR leaders, digital skills experts, financial sector representatives, and entrepreneurial NextGen leaders.

Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in the debate, gaining a deeper understanding of the future of employment in Jersey and how to adapt to these changes.

Alex Ruddy, Chair of IoD Jersey, said: “The future of employment is a critical topic for Jersey’s continued prosperity. Our Leaders’ Lunch provides an excellent platform for discussing the challenges and opportunities presented by the evolving job market. Engaging with NextGen is crucial to ensuring we are prepared for the future, and I look forward to the insights that our distinguished panel and attendees will bring to the discussion.”
