HR Connect 2022

-We apologize, but this event has been cancelled.-

Overview

Throughout the pandemic, employers went to great lengths to ensure that they protected their workers from COVID-19. For some, this meant turning to remote work, which was new for many employers. For others, it meant ensuring that essential onsite staff wore personal protective equipment, engaged in social distancing, and received hazard pay for being on the front lines.

Now that we’re learning to live with COVID-19, employers are taking a step back and reinstating pre-pandemic policies and procedures, which is causing a mass exodus of talent. Employees that got comfortable working remotely are now being forced to go back into the office, after proving they can successfully work from home for over 2 years. For workers on the front lines, the hazard pay has disappeared, and these workers now refuse to go back to their pre-pandemic wages. In order to retain workers and prevent more talent from leaving, it’s time to revamp your talent management strategies.

Through compliance, recruitment, corporate culture, and every facet of the employee lifecycle, your organization must ensure it’s offering an optimal experience to keep your top talent engaged and retained for years to come. The next few years will be a critical time for businesses as they reassess company strategies surrounding staffing, performance, culture, and so much more. Learn how to adapt and overcome the current and next wave of HR challenges when you attend HR Connect!
