Creating an Actionable Employee Retention Strategy
Debbie Lowe -
Head of Human Resources, Canada Region,

Traditionally, HR leaders have supported and implemented processes as a one-size-fits-all workforce management strategy. However, over the last few years, we’ve seen a swift shift, as leadership is realizing the key opportunities being missed when you ignore the fact that every employee is motivated by different things. When we hone in on the growth and development of the individual employee, we have the ability to inspire productivity, innovation, and change like never before

•How to shift your organization’s focus. A step-by-step guide for any employee centric workplace
•Providing opportunities for employee growth & development
•Fostering a culture of respect in the workplace
•Challenging your employees in a balanced way
