In a rapidly shifting work landscape, the University of Alicante is set to host a pivotal conference titled Labour Market Challenges: Attracting and Engaging Talent at the national level and particularly in the Valencian Community. The event is scheduled for Tuesday, 23 May, and brings together leaders from the employment and talent management sectors to explore practical strategies for workforce acquisition and retention across Spain, with a focused lens on the Valencian Community.
Leading professionals from major firms and senior human resources executives in the Alicante province will participate in the conference. Salvador Navarro, president of the Valencian Community Business Confederation (CEV), will inaugurate the session and offer opening remarks. Demonstrating the event’s relevance to real world HR practice, Andrés Menéndez, managing director of personnel at Randstad, and Daniel Lorenzo, director of public relations at Randstad, will share pragmatic insights into attracting and retaining skilled personnel. Their contributions will bridge strategy with hands-on implementation, reflecting current market realities and talent trends in Spain.
The conference is scheduled to run from 9:00 to 11:00, culminating with closing remarks by Juan Llopis, Director of Institutional Relations and Projects at the University of Alicante. The gathering promises to be a collaborative forum where business leaders, HR experts, and academic researchers exchange knowledge on creating compelling employer value propositions, navigating labour market dynamics, and aligning recruitment efforts with regional economic priorities.
