How to Attract and Retain the Best TalentRegister
TUESDAY, APR 18, 2023 2:00 PM (EASTERN)
The jewelry industry has not been spared from “The Great Resignation” and shifting attitudes about work. Rather than wondering “why can’t I find a good employee?,” employers should be asking, “why would a good employee want to work here?” Join Jewelers of America’s Susan Posnock and National Jeweler’s Lenore Fedow as they lead a panel of experts in a discussion of what the jewelry industry has to offer the next generation of workers – and what your business can do to attract and retain the best talent out there.
