Trevor Shylock, Caliper Corp.
This session is designed to provide management guidance in today’s very competitive and ever-changing world. Overall, there is decreased loyalty to a company, more contract positions, less loyalty to one company, different working environments due to technological enhancements, and an “always on” and instant gratification society that leads to more distractions. We will discuss trends, best practices, and cautions in order to put participants’ organizations in the most favorable situation possible to attract, retain, and get the best performance out of their employees.
