    Are you Feeling the Churn? Strategies for Talent Management and Managing Mobility Paths

    Dr. Erin Makarius, Dr. Alison Dachner, and Mr. Scott Bible, will present a workshop for HR managers to respond to the Great Resignation by focusing on retention initiatives aimed at creating a work environment that is supportive and engaging. As more and more participants in the workforce are settling into roles that fit their needs, our workshop will discuss strategies to encourage a good fit between the jobs at an organization and the talent that will fill them.

    The focus is on management training to be able to perform these activities in an organization. People do matter and mid-level managers need help.

    Part 1: The concept of Organizational Fit and how jobs can be designed to meet the needs of the contemporary, post-COVID workforce.

    Part 2: The importance of Talent Management

    Part 3: Career Mobility
     
    Part 4: Designing a Total Rewards structure to attract and retain those employees that are a good fit and recognize the importance of long-term career planning.
