Speakers:

Leisa Spears Synder from Atlas Air , joined by an HR/Talent Acquisition professional, will lead a panel discussion on the Job Profile Project , a valuable tool for addressing challenging-to-fill positions and roles with high turnover. The panel will explore what the program is, how businesses can use it, and how it has benefited their organizations. This discussion will be especially valuable for HR professionals and larger employers who may have the resources and capacity to implement more robust workforce development strategies.

Antoine Smith-Rouse from Gateway Community College will bring a small- and medium-sized business perspective, focusing on practical strategies for organizations that may have more limited budgets and resources. His discussion will cover:

• Strategies for hiring the right people when competing for talent with larger employers

• Cost-effective ways to attract and retain employees

• Workforce development and talent attraction/retention resources available to small and mid-sized businesses

• Practical tools and programs businesses may not realize are available to them

• Best practices businesses can implement without making a significant financial investment
