How to Attract and Retain a Skilled Workforce - A Critical Conversation

Are you ready for the newest shortage and price hike? It's not housing or lumber. The latest deficit will be human capital, widespread and felt by every business sector. This labour shortage will obsolete the old ways of attracting, retaining and inspiring. Employers will need to find new ways to attract employees, hang on to the ones they have and find ways to build capacity with their existing team. In addition, many employers will see the globe as their recruitment opportunity; you now have to compete against your local competition for people and places like New York, the UK, or Brazil.
