Attracting and Retaining: The Next Employer Challenge

Attracting and Retaining is part of our 2017 Seminar Series: Changes & Challenges, sponsored by Express Employment Professionals.

Now that most employers can see the light at the end of the recession tunnel, CEOs across America are turning their attention to their next great challenge, protection of their greatest asset: the knowledge of their people. Retention of your most talented employees has become the No. 1 agenda item of employers. Recent surveys indicate up to 80 percent of your employees are open to the opportunity of job change and 50 percent have already mentally checked out or are actively looking. We are also looking at the greatest transformation in the U.S. workforce in our lifetime. This session will raise each leader's effectiveness to the benefits and tools of retention, as well as implementing foolproof hiring techniques to maximize your investment.

Attracting and Retaining will be led by Monte Farrar, the manager of human resource training for Express Employment Professionals, where he enjoys helping franchise owners and their clients solve problems. Prior to joining Express in 2006, Farrar gained leadership and consulting experience in numerous industries and companies including Gulfstream Aerospace Technologies, the Hertz Corporation, Bank One Corporation, and American Eletric Power.
