Carl Camden
President and CEO of Kelly Services, Inc.

No More Apologies: Staking Our Claim in the New World of Work

While the free agent workforce is increasing in size and scope as a result of the recent economic downturn, many businesses are attempting to do more with less. Meanwhile, the flexible workforce continues to be discounted in public policy debate, if not deliberately misrepresented. Carl Camden believes that now is the time to define and defend the future of flexible work, and prove the value it can deliver in any economy.

Carl is a passionate and widely recognized spokesman for the free agent workforce. As the President and CEO of Kelly Services, Inc., he has been featured in Bloomberg Businessweek, The New York Times, Huffington Post, Bloomberg TV and Radio, and appears regularly on CNBC to provide insight into the changing labor market. Most recently, he and a select group of CEOs were invited to the White House to discuss modernizing the federal government.

Carl will discuss the talent paradox of excess and scarcity that many staffing companies face and how poorly understood this is by companies, governments and institutions the world over. More importantly, he will address how, as leaders of our industry, we must seize today’s changing economic and social forces to secure our future. Don’t miss this urgent and highly inspiring address from one of our industry’s most prominent advocates.

About Carl
As the president and chief executive officer of Kelly Services, Inc., Carl is a recognized thought leader on talent management. He regularly consults with leaders of many of the largest, best-known corporations in the world, providing insight into labor trends and advising on flexible workforce strategies. In 2011, Carl was elected to the Business Roundtable, an association of CEOs of leading U.S. companies with nearly $6 trillion in annual revenues and more than 13 million employees. Carl is a frequent speaker at international conferences, including the World Health Congress, the Century Foundation, and the Federal Reserve, where he recently spoke on the importance of removing policy barriers to flexible workforce options.
