How to Acquire Top Talent for Your Business

Date: March 29, 2012
Time: 3:00pm - 4:00pm
Place: Morris Lawrence Building, Classroom TBD

The good news is that the unemployment rate is falling in the Ann Arbor Region. The challenge, however, is near-full employment will give rise to greater competition for talent among employers. The pool of potential candidates will shrink as more people secure employment. A brighter economic climate encourages employees to seek new opportunities elsewhere. Britany Affolter-Caine, Director of Talent Enhancement at Ann Arbor SPARK, will share a few tips to making your company more competitive in the market for top talent as well as within your company by retaining current, valuable employees.
