The war for talent is ongoing.

Highlights

Are Employees Assets? Today’s New Employment
As the managers’ role continues to evolve, it is crucial for us to understand the strategic aspects of managing a diverse workforce, beginning with understanding the big trends in employee demographics. We begin with a rhetorical question - asking if employees are assets? GAAP tells us they are not, but does this treatment bias our view of the people in our organization? What do the most successful organizations do, believe, and why? What are the winning organizations doing that work? If you have an opinion as to whether employees are an asset or not, this is a thoughtful, interactive discussion to highlight what works in today’s new employment environment.
