Is your workforce engine high octane?
 
Your workforce is the fuel that powers your business. You need it firing on all burners all the time. Do you have the right people on your team? Have you provided training that optimizes productivity? Is your workforce engaged? Exactly what motivates people to come to work, do their jobs, serve your customers and help you grow your business is what our speaker Lynn Billing, SVP of Spherion Staffing Services, will explore with us when she shares Spherion’s latest Emerging Workforce® Study. It is a landmark research initiative that provides a comprehensive portrait of the changes and trends shaping the American workforce. Now in its 19th year, the study offers insights to help employers find, engage and retain the best workforce.
