There’s a talent shortage across all industries, emphasizing the importance of expanding talent pools and redefining what ‘quality’ talent is. To help explore what this means for HR and TA professionals today, we hosted Surehand’s CEO, Chris Brenchley. With Surehand’s commitment to Rock the Trades movement, we discussed the importance of rocking skilled trades today, redefining job requirements, and using learning and development to develop employee commitment and loyalty. In this HR at the Table webinar, we also discussed:
The current state of today’s talent market
What rocking the trades can mean to your business
The role of learning & development in today’s talent landscape
