What You'll Learn
In this webinar, we explored The Vanishing Workforce through the lens of everything we learned in 2022 and looked forward to where we are headed. In 2022, there was a record number of over 11.5 million job openings across the United States. Businesses of all types struggled to attract and retain employees in what seemed like a true war for talent. Is this the new normal, will we eventually return to pre-pandemic conditions, or will the employment landscape continue to change?
This free webinar explored the collision of factors leading to our current talent crisis as well as essential steps employers must take to remain competitive.
Express Employment Professionals of Grand Rapids has partnered with Emsi Burning Glass to provide this free webinar. We are committed to helping our clients understand what is happening in the workforce and developing a strong strategy to successfully recruit and retain employees. The workforce outlook certainly presents challenges, but employers who take a proactive and people first approach can become an employer of choice and rise above the competition in this war for talent.
