When bringing on new team members, the hiring process may be over but another process has just begun: employee retention. It won’t be enough to offer competitive compensation packages; founders must do more to ensure that new hires become long-term, committed team members. But how?

The Nasdaq Center is excited to be joined by Jill Pappenheimer, Partner in HR Consulting at BPM, and Stacy Litteral, Managing Director and in HR Consulting, to discuss strategies for employee retention. Jill and Stacy will demonstrate how to create a culture that supports the needs and desires of your employees and aligns staff together for the benefit the organization as a whole.

Key Takeaways:

• How to clearly define roles and responsibilities
• What employees need and how to use analytics to evaluate employee wellbeing
• How to keep employees engaged and ensure a sense of belonging
• Why employees leave and how to implement a feedback loop that minimizes that risk
