Introduction

We are currently experiencing the most competitive talent landscape ever. There have been more changes in the past two years than we’ve experienced in the last decade.

Some things haven’t changed, of course. Many industries are still dealing with crippling skills shortages, but candidate and employee expectations have changed irrevocably.

The pandemic led many to reassess their lives, including how and where they work. Today’s employees also want career progression. They’re interested in making a difference with meaningful work, but most importantly, they want flexibility and a good work-life balance. Employers must take into account these renewed employee expectations.

Regardless of the motivation, companies need a solution as staff turnover and persistent vacancies stifle growth and hinder long-term outcomes and priorities. Learn winning strategies to help mitigate the risk of attrition at this workshop .
