October Luncheon Sponsored by: The City of Goddard and Iron Insurance Partners

The Workforce Has Changed: Has Your Strategy?

Hiring may have slowed from recent highs, but workforce challenges have not disappeared. For many small and mid-sized employers, the challenge is no longer simply finding applicants. It is finding the right experience, retaining key employees, managing compensation pressures, preparing for succession, and making smart workforce decisions with limited time and resources.

Join Phillip Hayes with The Arnold Group on October 8 for a practical look at today’s workforce trends and the HR issues many small businesses are navigating.

We’ll explore:

  • Why experienced and specialized talent may still be harder to find than the headlines suggest
  • How wage compression, retention, retirement, and succession can create hidden workforce risk
  • Practical ways small businesses can strengthen recruiting, employee development, and workforce planning
  • Resources and workforce strategies employers can use without needing a large internal HR department

We’ll also leave time to discuss the workforce and HR challenges local employers are seeing firsthand.

If your business is trying to attract good people, keep the employees you already have, and prepare for what comes next, this conversation is designed for you.
