There is a global appetite to advance the critical role of digital health and care for all; Wales, like many other countries, has a recruitment and retention problem. This workshop will showcase current activities and ideas to address these issues but will run an interactive session that will seek to hear from the delegates through the sharing of their stories. We will address a wide range of important subjects and issues to stimulate some lively debates and discussion. Wales has great optimism that global co-operation will accelerate the exchange of ideas and will scale-up good practice. We know it is not just about technology it’s about people, let’s exchange stories!

• Hearing from the small country of Wales on their latest initiatives to identify and address the current challenges in recruitment and retention
• To be able to compare and contrast good practice
• Be able to takeaway key messages to enable implementation “back home”
• To be able to share the stories that affect us all

Recent years have served as an accelerator for organizations to transform traditional workplace norms to more holistically support today’s workforce. Organizations can no longer argue that productivity decreases in the hybrid setting. Skilled knowledge workers in a healthcare and academic setting are in demand; if they are not entrusted to personalize and adjust their workdays, they will go elsewhere. To manage effectively, Peter Drucker writes, “means to face up to the new realities. It means starting out with the question, ‘what is the world really like?’ rather than with assertions and assumptions that made sense only a few years ago.”

• Define leadership traits and competencies needed for successfully managing today’s academic healthcare workforce, including managing ambiguity and instilling trust in colleagues and employees
• Address gaps that exist in much of the academic health workforce to support professional development and career transitions
• Provide current academic healthcare workforce data to support how to lead today’s knowledge workers
• Discuss tools that align most effectively for a hybrid workforce
