Put People First: How to Retain and Recruit the People You Need to Grow Your Business

The 2023 Leadership Forum is a must attend with Kathleen Quinn Votaw returning by popular demand!  Kathleen was a presenter at the 2022 Western Propane Convention and a guest speaker at the 2022 NPGA Fall Board Meeting. She’s a great presenter and we’re bringing her back because her information is so valuable to our industry struggling to hire great people.

About the Program Today’s landscape is incredibly dynamic – global talent, a diverse workforce, and everyone is expecting more. If your workplace isn’t a reflection of this amazing time in history, it makes it even more difficult to attract and retain the best. In survey after survey, leaders list attracting and retaining top talent as their number one issue. Are you struggling with recruitment and retention? If you are, you are not alone.

The workplace has changed forever. There are people working in the office, there are people working from home, and there are many who are doing both. Organizations must move forward and transition into this new era to grow and retain top talent. Is your team and/or organization poised to falter or thrive? It takes everyone at an organization working together to create a supportive employee experience. In today’s competitive labor market losing a key person can be devastating for your organization and finding someone to replace them daunting.

Therefore, your ability as a leader to recruit and retain the best is a differentiator in where your team and organization moves into the future. In this highly interactive and engaging program, leaders will learn the top 10 reasons why your people are leaving you and a six-step recruitment process that works. You will leave with multiple, actionable tools and resources to build a community where the employee experience is irresistible.

Value and Key Takeaways to Participants

• Building a Community – Learn how to create an irresistible employee experience
• Precision Interviewing – Discover 7 steps to select the best talent
• Recruitment and Retention – Gain knowledge on how to treat recruitment like a sales process for building great teams
