Talbot Family Network and Talbot County Economic Development and Tourism are joining forces to bring workforce resources to area employers.
Business owners, managers, supervisors, human resource professionals, and interested community members are invited to a free virtual seminar on May 5, 2021, from 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. that explores economic diversity in the workplace. This event coincides with National Travel and Tourism Week, May 2-8, and is a prelude to International Economic Development Week, May 9-15.
In any workplace, employee instability can lead to company instability. In this workshop, participants will gain tools for improving employee retention and reducing employee turnover while accessing the hidden talent in their organization. From improved recruiting and onboarding processes to promoting valuable employees from within, Workplace Stability covers every stage of the employee life cycle.
This is one of a series of community poverty education resources that Talbot Family Network provides using the Bridges Out of Poverty Framework.

This training will help our businesses gain the tools they need to identify talent in unexpected places.”
