If you’ve noticed challenges with hiring employees in the last few years, you are not alone. Businesses across the state of Wisconsin have struggled with recruitment and hiring in a wide range of industries, and a variety of environmental, historical, and economic factors have lead us to these challenges.
Tuesday Nov 9, 2021
In this session, we’ll translate regional data into your day-to-day by understanding how long-term trends are impacting the current labor market and how one local business is responding.
As part of the University of Wisconsin-Extension Center for Community and Economic Development, Matt Kures specializes in researching regional economic analysis, labor force, socioeconomic impact analysis, and industry sector competitiveness. For this presentation, Matt will focus on precipitating factors and impacts, such as: labor-force participation, employment by industry, population demographics and migration, automation/computerization, and more.
From there, Todd Spencer, V.P. of Human Resources at TriEnda Corporation will share his corporate perspective, including challenges he has seen as an employer, how employee recruitment has shifted since the start of the pandemic, addressing employee motivation and company culture, and more.
This event was developed by the Innovation Champions Group (ICG) with Columbia, Sauk, and Marquette Counties in mind; however, any Wisconsin business is welcome to attend.
