Overview:
The so-called “Great
Resignation” is providing a real challenge to employers in the U.S. and even in
some other western countries. It is tough to attract workers even as turnover
rates are reaching historic highs. The challenge is greatest for employers in
hospitality and restaurants, but even employers with professional and technical
employees are facing increased turnover rates and recruiting/talent acquisition
challenges. Employers are experimenting with many approaches to attract
first-rate talent while also working to drive down turnover rates—particularly
for their most productive or high potential workers. These approaches go far
beyond merely increasing wages, though it is also true that employers are
trying out higher starting wages, signing bonuses, longevity awards, spot
bonuses for those who arrive on the first day of work without ghosting their
employer, and much more. Few employers are aware of the vast research on the
most effective ways to attract and retain workers, and that research provides
valuable insights to practical, proven ways to acquire and retain talent. This
session will describe both strategies for talent acquisition while also
reviewing how to drive down turnover.
