What hasn’t changed in the past several years?  The political landscape feels like it has everything at a standstill – or is it a landslide?  Join Toby as he takes us through the legislative landscape in Wisconsin and across the country – all while providing his interpretations and predictions on its impact on the staffing industry in our great state
Session Topic:

The Changing World of M&A & its Impact on the Staffing Industry

Speaker: Patrick B. Morin
Partner at Transact Capital Partners

Talent shortages continue to be a challenge for many, yet layoffs are on the rise in industries such as big tech, financial services, retail and even manufacturing.  Not to mention the impact of the changing economic landscape, hybrid workplaces, global instability and changing tax policies and other trends impacting the business climate. How can we best focus our businesses to succeed in this climate of uncertainty?

By staying on top of M&A trends, your staffing firm can better prepare to weather the storm that’s ahead – or better yet, position yourself to grow despite these economic challenges.  Afterall, those businesses and industries that can effectively navigate this uncertainty will always come out ahead! Patrick will bring us up to speed on the current state of the Mergers & Acquisitions market. He will attack this topic from both the buyer’s perspective and the seller’s perspective – giving you key insights to take back to your team as you create your business strategy for 2024.

Session Topic:

Artificial Intelligence and Workplace Law What's New, Novel, and Next

Speaker: Jesse Dill
Shareholder at Olgetree Deakins, Milwaukee

In the past year, artificial intelligence shook the business world like an earthquake!  An explosion of tools catapulted businesses into incorporating large language model artificial intelligence applications into their workplaces – and into the world of human resources and recruiting. While this is new territory and very few areas of the country have passed laws directly regulating artificial intelligence applications, introducing artificial intelligence to your workplace still carries potential risk of violating multiple existing labor and employment laws.

As we muddle through the introduction of these applications, we can't overlook the risks.  So how can we use these tools to create greater efficiencies, while minimizing the risk to our staffing organization?  Listen as Jesse enlightens us with what we know today and how we can prepare for what is to come in this ever-evolving world of artificial intelligence and its use in staffing.
