F13: How to Use an Association to Benefit Your Company?
*This conference session requires registration and payment.
Managing a business is harder than ever today. Cuts in education, dwindling training facilities, competing agencies, and fast-moving technologies make finding, hiring, and retaining employees more elusive than ever. What is the secret many companies are hiding? Is there a “cheat-code” to keeping your company connected and thriving? The answer is yes, and it lies within the associations across North America and around the world. In this presentation, I will demonstrate some of the tools available to companies that can support their workforce. Free training, networking opportunities, cost-effective marketing, and access to content are just a few of the amazing offerings being created by the leading industry associations. Find out how you can make the right connections to support your industry needs.
