Let’s talk about the major strategies to attract and retain workers!

More than ever, recruiting and retaining talented and motivated employees is a major challenge, especially for growing companies. This often stems from poorly defined roles and responsibilities, unstructured recruitment practices, values not conveyed in the organization, an ill-defined employer brand, etc.

Do you want an HR strategy but don’t know where to start? On November 27, the BDC will present the impacts of the current state of talent management in your business. You’ll learn three main strategies for attracting and retaining workers to help you see things more clearly.

Several concepts and tools will be presented: employer branding, engagement strategies based on professional development and advancement, and the structured recruitment process.
