Acquiring and Retaining Talent in Our Current Environment

“Thank you for your patience. We are severely short staffed.”
“I’m offering top of the line pay and benefits but I cannot seem to get quality candidates to apply for my position.”
“I’m tired of working 60+ hours per week with no recognition or appreciation.”

Listening to our colleagues and friends in the Hospitality industry (and in any industry!), we know that hiring and retention are at the forefront of everyone’s minds. Join us on September 29 for a discussion related to all things employment. Natalie Weaver, VP of Human Resources at Liberty Bank will present strategies for hiring talent (getting them in the door), tips on understanding employees in different generations (what motivates them to do their best work), and setting boundaries as a dedicated employee (retaining them once they’re a part of your team). Employees and employers are both experiencing this seismic shift in the workplace…let's discuss it together!
