Reflections and Projections: Elevating Your Candidate and Employee Journey in 2025

If you’re like us, you’ve been laser-focused on delivering on your talent acquisition and employee engagement goals this year. Filling the talent pipeline, employee management, employee experience, and employee development. But before you wrap up 2024…

Join us for an inspiring keynote and three trend predictions to keep in mind before you head into 2025. Hear from career development trainer, workforce development advisor, and bestselling author of KNOCK, Rebecca Otis Leder, about marketplace trends that will inspire, guide, inform, and maybe even surprise you.

This isn’t your average 2024 highlights reel or 2025 predictions event - we’ll widen your view with data-backed and aspirational themes about the candidate and employee experience journey. Aligning Human resources and Talent acquisition priorities with our dynamic economy, we’ll share examples that will make your ears perk up, help you prioritize direction, and maybe even shape your goals for next year. Come open to new ideas, honest realities, and curiosity that will lead you to a refreshing new view.

Together, we’ll explore:‍

What role does community play in candidate and employee experience?
What are the top workforce culture considerations influencing candidates, employees, talent and organizational leaders?
What are market leaders doing to elevate candidate and employee experience?
What strategies can organizations adopt to attract, hire, and retain the right talent, while growing with talent vs. adopting quick-win approaches?

Join us for the webinar live and you'll have the chance to get a copy of "Knock: How to Open Doors and Build Career Relationships That Matter," with 15 lucky attendees receiving the keynote speaker's acclaimed book. Don't miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and enhance your career journey!
