Staff is the reputation, the quality and the reliability of your business.

  • Harvard Business Review reported that 2022 was “another tumultuous year in the workplace, with continued high employee turnover rates, evolving return-to-office policies, inflation, and in 2023, organizations will continue to face significant challenges — and how they respond could determine whether they are an employer of choice.”
  • Forbes reported, 52% of small business owners said it has become more challenging to find quality job candidates. Similarly, 69% of corporations report that employee acquisition and retention are significant burdens.
  • Your best candidates are likely already employed, so why would want to work with you?
 

We’re doing something about this.

On Tue, Aug 15, we’re hosting intriguing presentations so that we can then jump into interactive small group conversations with local business leaders to go beyond the solutions and more critically discuss the nuances of those solutions.
