Finding the skilled workforce for tomorrow’s waste industry
NSW EPA Seminar Theatre
There has never been a greater period of change in the waste/resource recovery sector as Australia rapidly shifts towards a circular economy. A consequence of this change is a workforce shortage across the sector, particularly in some skilled areas like energy from waste. Veolia ANZ Chief People and Safety Officer Kim Hall has nearly two decades of experience in talent acquisition across multiple corporations specialising in advanced technologies and heavy industry. Here she provides key insights into how to transition workers from other industry sectors into our own, the time and training required, and how diversifying our workforce can assist this process and the personnel challenges ahead.
