Hiring and Retaining Employees in this Crazy Economy

Many employers face a labor shortage, demands for higher pay and flexibility, and the fallout from the wave of resignations known as the Great Quit. This 60-minute webinar covers practical hiring and retention strategies for these conditions.

Growth is often limited by the ability to hire and keep talent, and every vacancy adds pressure on the people who stay. You'll learn how to attract strong candidates, run referral programs that work, use an entrance interview and a 60-day new employee survey, and improve the onboarding experience.
