CPIBN hosted another Talent Topics and Trends discussion to share best practices, share ideas and ask questions with a group of senior-level Organizational Development and HR thought leaders on the return to work throughout WNY. The focus was on how to ‘re’ build, ‘re’ board, and ‘re’ imagine the workplace as local businesses start welcoming employees back into the office.
The sharing of best practices and strategies around this topic created a lot of energy and insight. Each panelist agreed that this is a critical time for organizations as they navigate difficult decisions that will impact employee attraction and retention, customer and client relationships, and the overall culture of an organization.
In the coming weeks, we will begin to answer these questions as the Talent Topics, and Trends group reconvenes to share what’s working, what isn’t, and what needs to change going forward.
We would also love to hear from you about what your organization is doing and any insights you can share about what you’ve learned through the process. Feel free to reach out to us at: daustin@cpibn.com or rbemiller@cpibn.com and let us know if we can share your insights with a larger audience through LinkedIn and our blog posts.
