Fuel50, the fastest-growing career pathing platform globally, will host its signature event, the FuelX Career Experience Conference and Awards in London on February 7, and Santa Monica, California on June 5-6, 2019 . The events will facilitate dialogue around critical workforce talent priorities, and recognize HR leaders who have successfully implemented best-in-class career experiences impacting employee retention, engagement, productivity, and other critical business metrics.

“My research shows businesses around the world are grappling with alarming declines in productivity, employee engagement and trust,” said Josh Bersin, global industry analyst and founder of Bersin™ by Deloitte. “To address these and other business-impacting challenges, companies must put new emphasis on the employee experience at every stage of an employee’s career. In my presentation, I’ll discuss best-practice strategies organizations can employ, as well as coming workforce, technology, and economic trends that should factor into long-term planning.”

The London conference features a robust lineup of speakers including an opening keynote from talent futurist Josh Bersin on “The Rise of the Individual in the Future of Work”; as well as Christine Landon, senior director talent and career development for eBay on “Individualized Career Propositions for Business Velocity”; and Shreya Nidadavolu, career and team development specialist for Indeed on “Creating Career Development Journeys”.

“Not only does the career experience affect employees personally and professionally, but it also impacts every facet of business -- from retention to engagement to mobility -- all of which are of increasing importance as the workplace landscape continues to shift around us,” said Anne Fulton, CEO and co-founder, Fuel50. “The mission of the FuelX Career Experience Conference is to collectively explore the way forward in delivering best-of-class career experiences and honor the HR professionals who are doing an exemplary job.”
