Recruiting & Retention in the Workforce

A New England Chapter Connects Series — Presented by the NEAPWA's Public Works Awareness and Education Committees

When: Thursday, April 28, 2022, 11:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. via Zoom Hosted by T2 Center at UCONN

Finding and keeping strong, qualified employees is more difficult than ever. Challenges span from smaller candidate pools to high turnover from competitors incentivizing a job change, to the changing generational expectations of the employees, and more. These challenges are felt across both the private and public sectors and pose a serious problem for the future success of each entity, especially with an aging work force and the consistent loss of institutional knowledge.

Our selected panelists will be discussing the issues that communities and companies are having, the strategies they utilize to generate interest in their open positions to attract high quality candidates, and how to keep them as part of their team for years to come. Please join us to learn how you can build and retain your work force.
