Now that we are halfway through the year, are we where we hoped we would be? Is the viral threat reduced and was there the resumption of business as planned? How has the rest of the world fared? Does the second half of the year offer a real rebound, or will we still be held back by the damage sustained in 2021? What are the new issues we are facing in recovery?

The after-effects of the pandemic continue to linger as employees decide if they want to continue doing what they’re doing with their current employer, or if it’s time for them to make a change.
Are these changes happening strictly because of the economy or is there something that leadership is missing when it comes to their company’s culture and work environment? Employees want more choices and flexibility when it comes to when, where, and how they get their work done. If your organization is unwilling to work with them, those decisions may work against you when it comes to attracting and retaining talent.
In this program, you’ll learn three key actions that companies can take to keep their top talent from becoming someone else’s.
Objectives:
Lisa Ryan, CSP, helps organizations develop employee engagement strategies that keep their top talent from becoming someone else’s.

Join Dr. Chris Kuehl for this year end in review from an economic standpoint. Let’s look at what was happening and begin to define the next normal. What’s next? Does 2023 herald a return to what passes for normal these days or are we looking at a repeat of either one of these last tumultuous years?
