  • How Do Perceived Value and Compensation Impact Employee Retention?

Joining me to unpack this topic are Dion Haar and Gary Banks from Talent United, who bring their expertise in talent acquisition and share practical insights on how businesses can leverage these strategies to enhance retention.

You'll learn how to target spending just 20-30% of your time on hands-on tasks, freeing yourself up to focus on the big-picture growth strategies that will propel your business forward. So what is holding you back?   Is comfort with the status quo hindering your true potential?  We'll help you identify these roadblocks and empower you to take action.  By setting achievable timelines for your short-term, mid-term, and long-term goals, and ensuring your team is aligned with your vision, you can finally break free from the trenches and achieve the success you deserve.
