Session 3 – Workforce and Digitalisation
The succession of crisis has exacerbated a pressing need to attract and stabilise workforce in the bakery sector. The high overall economic activity and the evolving worker’s profile and expectations require a deep and dynamic approach of this nowadays critical dimension of the business. This session intends to combine principles versus practical experience and tradition versus latest digital trends. The new competitive environment puts established experience at stake and calls for an open-minded reflection on the attractiveness of our sector and ways to master this.
