Job postings have out-paced employee hiring for the first time in 16 years. Within 3 years, it wouldn’t be unheard of for a company to lose 35% of its employees to new jobs (10% of whom would still be within the company).

In an organization of 1000 employees, that means 315 people will have left for other opportunities. What can companies do to stay competitive and retain more employees? Increase pay? Provide more benefits? Modify corporate culture?

While all of these variables can help reverse these trends, a strong foundation in a training and development program can make a significant impact to the stickiness of your workforce.

Managers who attend this event will learn:
 

• Ways to foster employee development with individual and team goal-setting tactics
• Strategies to facilitate employee engagement (i.e. through mentorship opportunities)
• Tips to empower employees to explore career possibilities within the company
