The past year has brought about many challenges for TA teams, from navigating mass layoffs to figuring out how to do more with less.

A knock-on effect from all of this has been the impact on retention and keeping teams engaged as the market slowly begins to shift.

Our expert panel of senior TA leaders will talk about how keeping your team engaged is not a luxury; it is an essential survival strategy to avoid the impact of disengagement – decreased productivity, high turnover rates and a lack of innovation.

We will discuss how to foster resilience to withstand market fluctuations, practical steps to motivate and engage team members, and whether employee engagement surveys can help you stay ahead.

What You Will Get From This Session:

* Discover actionable strategies to retain top talent amidst market changes, ensuring your organisation stays competitive and resilient

* Learn how to foster a workplace culture that not only retains employees but also promotes innovation, resilience, and sustained high performance

* Understand the key metrics to monitor employee engagement and retention, empowering you to make informed decisions and measure the success of your strategies
