Workshop to attract and retain top talent

By KENT THOMPSON
Workplace diversity is a subject that has been getting a lot of attention over the past 6-10 years.
In order to attract and retain top talent, businesses must broaden their employment search. In doing so, businesses and industries can identify and address existing barriers and learn how expanding their diversity can improve their workplace culture and their bottom line, improving the ability to outperform the competition and creating more sustainable business models.
All that and more will be part of a workforce workshop hosted by the Humboldt County Development Association (HCDA) on Tuesday, Feb. 26, at Gordy’s at Rustix. The morning will begin with networking and registration at 8 a.m. and keynote speaker, Claudia Schabel, speaking on “How to Attract and Retain Top Talent,” at 8:30 a.m. The workshop will conclude around 10 a.m. that morning.
The workshop is free for all HCDA partners, with just a $10 charge for any non-HCDA members or partners. People wanting to attend the workshop are asked to RSVP HCDA Executive Director Alissa O’Connor by Tuesday, Feb. 19. She can be emailed at: alissa@humboldtcountyiowa.com.
