Workforce Development Webinar Series
- When we hear workforce, we think of people at work or available to work. The challenges are how to find and get people to work and stabilize and develop our workforce. This can be extremely challenging because there are many elements that must be visualized, understood, and addressed to stabilize and develop our workforce to achieve enterprise excellence. In this webinar leaders are introduced to the elements, focus points, and process to improve their House of Workforce. If you find that your team has an ongoing struggle with the workforce, this webinar is for you!
- Leaders and decision-makers are becoming acutely aware of the ever-changing landscape of workforce talent development and the need for robust succession planning to face the impending tidal wave of retirements. During this webinar we will highlight the need for succession planning and identify 3 initial — and essential — steps to effectively begin a strategic succession plan.Â
