Dr. Kent Wessinger of Retention Partners, presents this EXCLUSIVE virtual workshop series in conjunction with PGCA’s mission to help businesses grow.

This six-part workshop series will help participants solve their company’s current workforce crisis, achieve their company’s growth goals, and develop a relevant strategy that will create a secure culture that will attract top talent, engage employees and clients, and retain their current workforce. Workshops will defuse assumptions about millennials, the largest group in the workforce today, with facts, discuss examples of real-life implementation, and provide clear paths to achievable growth goals.

Workshop content is designed in a progressive manner so we suggest that participants begin at week 1 and continue through week 6 to gain the most information and knowledge. Workshops are scheduled once per month from 1:00 pm to 2:00 pm with 45 minutes of educational content and 15 minutes for discussion and questions. Microsoft Teams will be used for virtual workshops, breakout sessions, questions, and file uploads. When participants register, they will be sent the Teams link. A staff member will be moderating each workshop in case of technical problems.
