Meeting the HR Challenge

Small and mid-sized manufacturing firms face a special challenge in recruiting, selecting, onboarding, upskilling or reskilling, and retaining their workers.

Most business leaders and HR professionals are keenly aware of The Great Resignation, Quiet Quitting, and similar trends with the workforce that complicate the job of employers finding, attracting, engaging, and keeping workers with the right attitude and with the right ability.

This 55-minute webinar will help identify and invigorate a new or refreshed awareness of several important elements of meeting today’s HR challenges, especially those directly connected with workforce trends.

Internationally recognized HR thought leader, William J. Rothwell, will deliver this engaging session and touch briefly on each of the following topics:

• The current employment landscape and how to approach the HR Challenge without an HR staff.
• Insights and current approaches important for recruiting and selecting workers.
• Understanding current onboarding challenges and considerations for training and development.
• Discovering several trends in worker engagement.
• Reducing turnover and improving retention rates.

Meeting the HR Challenge isn’t a one-time quick fix. It is developing tactical and cultural approaches that will help the organization start things off right and gain more engagement and commitment over time.
