After the pandemic, The Wall Street Journal reported that in a survey of more than 3,000 workers and managers, 36% said their overall career ambitions had waned, and 40% said work had become less important. Compounding this, the accounting industry faces an acute staffing shortage, leaving many partners struggling to manage staff who are working fewer hours, may be less productive remotely and tend to prioritize their personal lives over work. 

In this session, you’ll learn about the changes in the world of work, including generational differences in attitudes that have upended the CPA labor market, how to manage individuals for productivity in this new environment based on cutting-edge research and how to plan for firm-level capacity in today’s staffing market.
