    The War for Talent

    How can companies keep their best talents? Talent retention has been one of the most important tasks for any company regardless of the industry. They have found out that to retain their talents, they need to find ways to keep them happy, which is why they offer competitive salary packages, career growth, and sometimes, the opportunity to work for a known brand.   The pandemic has completely shattered this idea. Employees are now leaving despite working in lucrative industries and even with salary packages that an ordinary person could only dream of. Interestingly, while the pandemic has led to people losing their jobs, many employees are now looking for more than just economic benefits.   This is a major talking point with Adriana Roche, Sheila Murty, and Dr. Tracy Adams in this all-female panel discussion. Adriana is Chief People Officer at MURAL while Sheila is Executive Vice President of People and Culture at Tillamook County Creamery Association. Trisha, meanwhile, is Global Director of Talent Management & Operations at Columbia Sportswear Company.  Our guests have provided a ton of ideas about talent retention, employee engagement, employer-employee relationships, and company culture. Companies would not want to miss this opportunity to hear from industry leaders.    Listen to this episode to learn more!

Monalisa works at ServiceNow under the Customer Engagements of the Office of the CIO. Kevin is Principal at Launch Center, Inc. while Chris is Vice President - HR Center of Expertise, People and Culture at UPS. Our guests have shared their experiences so far about the work-from-home setup and the booming hybrid arrangement that is being adopted by companies already. They also offered some interesting insights about the future of workspaces. Listen to this episode about hybrid work!
