Description
As the labor market continues to tighten, it becomes increasingly important to retain existing talent, including upskilling employees as jobs evolve, and reskilling employees into new, exciting roles.
- In fact, "APQC research on employee retention found that the pursuit of better career development opportunities is the most common reason why employees seek work elsewhere."
Join us IN PERSON from 9am to 2pm in person at the beautiful Pyle Center in Madison to learn from the experiences of others and share your experiences with your peers!
- Member company Lands' End will be sharing their approaches on this topic
- Marisa Brown at APQC will share research findings on retention
- GE HealthCare will share two approaches to upskilling they use
- We will also have collaborative breakout sessions, a hallmark of the UWEBC experience.
Have a success story to share? We are looking for members to share their experiences on the critical topic of talent. If you're interested, please contact Jenny Patzlaff.
