PROGRAM OVERVIEW

COVID-19 has wreaked havoc on an already tight work force for all categories of workers (task, knowledge, power and kiosk). But the pandemic is the most-recent cause to impact hiring and employment. Recruitment efforts of the past have isolated potential-employees from hiring firms and created a hiring bottleneck that continues to worsen. In this presentation, speaker Maisha Christian shares how we got here and offers game-changing ideas and strategies to help employers attract, locate and retain talent.

During this session attendees will learn:

  • The economic priorities that have influenced work and recruitment throughout history
  • The cost and impact of replacing an employee
  • How engagement and motivation drive retention
  • Recruiting challenges and solutions
