Some of the biggest challenges facing executives over the next 10 years include retaining and rewarding the best employees, developing the next generation of leaders, and creating an organizational culture that attracts the best employees. The next generation of leaders looks at culture as one of the most important factors in working for, or staying with a company.
Forbes reports we are in a Retention Crisis – Deloitte research shows that culture, engagement, and employee retention are now top challenges facing business leaders. Unemployment below 5.5% indicates that employees have more bargaining power. Social sites like LinkedIn, Glassdoor, and Indeed means that company’s employment brand is now public information. If not a great place to work, people find out fast. Deloitte reports that 95% of candidates believe culture is more important than compensation.

Leaders will learn strategies to influence, motivate, and retain employees with practical and tactical solutions to build thriving, sustainable, and innovative workplace cultures.
