About the Program

If you are not frequently reviewing and refreshing your talent acquisition, engagement and retention processes, you run the risk of creating talent shortages in your workplace. The long-term effects of staffing issues increase burnout, stress and create dissatisfaction in the workplace, resulting in a loss of productivity that can drastically affect your company’s efforts to grow or even remain profitable.

Position yourself and your organization for success as you keep up with the most recent recruiting trends, discover better ways to engage and listen to your employees and employ technology or offer alternative benefits to boost your company culture, stay competitive and protect your bottom line.
