During the meetin g\, we will introduce Workforce Longevity as a strategic organizational ch allenge: how companies develop\, sustain and deploy talent across longer a nd less linear working lives. Rather than treating longevity as a wellbein g or age-management issue\, the session connects demographic change with w orkforce planning\, continuous learning\, career design\, health and capac ity\, and knowledge retention.\n\n\n\nThe meeting will conclude with \ ;an open discussion around two questions identified as particularly pressi ng for organizations today: how to build the skills we cannot yet name\, a nd how to design workforce health that people actually use. \;Particip ants will receive a short set of questions in advance and are encouraged t o come ready to share their own organization's experience.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n AGENDA\n\n\n\n9:30 - 10:00 Registration and Coffee\n\n\n\n10:00 - 10:15 Ov erview of AmCham Human Capital and Education Committee's Events\, Projects \, and Initiatives for Fall 2026.Speakers:Ivelina Panamska\, HCE Committee Co-chairVictoria Vakova\, HCE Committee Co-chair\n\n\n\n10:15 - 10:50 Pre sentation "Workforce Longevity: Are our organizations designed for longer working lives?"- \;the demographic case\, the framework\, the organiza tional systems it touches.Speaker:Silviya Andreeva\, \;Marketing Direc tor\, Syscom Engineering\n\n\n\n10:50 - 11:20 \;Facilitated discussion  \;Moderator:Silviya Andreeva\, \;Marketing Director\, Syscom Engi neering\n\n\n\n11:20 - 11:30 Closing Remarks\n\n\n\n11:30 - 12:00 Networki ng\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuestions for Reflection Before the Meeting\n\n\n\nTo ma ke our discussion on Workforce Longevity as meaningful and practical as po ssible\, we invite you to reflect on the following questions in advance an d come prepared to share examples and insights from your own organization. \n\n\n\nOn the Skills of the Future\n\n\n\n\nName one role in your organiz ation that you believe will not exist in ten years. Now name the person do ing it today. What is your plan for them?\n\n\n\nWhich tasks in your organ ization will be done substantially differently in two years because of AI - and is anyone currently being trained for what remains? Not the tasks th at disappear. The ones that change shape.\n\n\n\nThink of the last three p eople who left you for a better role elsewhere. Could that role have exist ed here? If the answer is yes for even one of them\, you did not lose them to the market - you lost them to your own structure.\n\n\n\n\nOn Workfor ce Health\n\n\n\n\nYour health and wellbeing program \;is well-designe d\, well-communicated\, and barely used. Is that an employee engagement pr oblem - \;or a signal that it is solving a problem your people do not recognize?\n\n\n\nLook this up: compare how many of your employees over 50 used any part of your health offering last year with how many under 35 di d. Which way does the gap run - \; and does that match who needs it mo st?\n\n\n\nYour strongest performers are frequently your most depleted. Wh at in your current system would notice that before a resignation letter do es?\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nHow to Participate\n\n\n\nTo attend the meeting\, ple ase register below by September 29th\, 12:00 p.m. Please note this is an A mCham members-only event. Working language will be Bulgarian.\n ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://amcham.bg/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Hum an-Capital-Education-Committee-1200x400-1.jpg CATEGORIES:Amcham Events LOCATION:\, \, X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=\, ;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TI TLE=:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
