Training isn't Just Important, It's Vital!

Employees:  Attracting, Screening and Engaging

​

In the past employees competed and did their best to attract an employer’s attention.  Now the tides are turned and attracting long term engaged employees is a marketing and branding challenge.  However, it is more than just filling the hiring funnel.  Automating the filtering process with modern tools is key to keeping toxic problems away from your workforce.  A bad hire is much more costly than a “non-hire.”  Then keeping those on the team engaged, while simple, needs to be done with intention.  Engaged employees have less absenteeism, turnover, and accidents.

​

This session will include high-level Marketing/Branding ideas as well as simple take-a-ways that can be adopted or implemented right away.  Employee engagement can be measured, but then what?  The panel will share their experience with some of the tools and the positive results.
