TOP TALENT: NAVIGATING YOUR WORKFORCE POST-PANDEMIC

Hear from our all-female panel on how to navigate staffing challenges in 2022.

As workforces continue to evolve and change, we are faced with yet another challenge – ‘The Great Resignation.’ Join us for Lunch on Thursday, 16 June as we delve into this phenomenon.

The pandemic saw many employees reflecting on what’s important to them, which has seen many businesses grappling with how to retain existing talent whilst also keeping up appeal in the recruitment pool.

In order to maintain staff numbers and attract job seekers, businesses need to come to grips with the evolving workplace and find a new path that suits not only their business, but their employees as well – with a new focus on what you can offer staff, not what they can offer the business.

At our second Influencers Lunch for the year, we will be exploring ways to attract and retain staff and find the right people for your business. Our panel will discuss how they win over and retain the right candidates, including:

What to look out for when recruiting

How to get new and existing employees invested in your business, and

How to make sure your new hires will represent the voice and brand you want for your business.

Trade and material shortages and cost hikes are only compounding challenges for your staff, meaning now more than ever, it’s vital that you have your people’s back and can support them and potential employees.
