Breakout Session 2A
"Lead 'Em or Lose 'Em - A Strategic Approach to Employee Retention "
Edie Gandy, President, TriSource Associates
For the majority of banks, employee retention is a greater concern than ever before. Add to that, the fact that talent acquisition is becoming more and more competitive, and it becomes clear that leaders must step up to the plate in order to safeguard the talent within their organization. The bottom line is that in this business environment, leaders who can’t or won’t foster employee trust, engagement and motivation are likely to lose them. This session focuses on the four Cs of employee engagement and retention, clarity, connection, communication and coaching.
