Webinar Details

In order for firms to remain competitive and prevent an exodus of high performing talent amidst such hot M&A activity, firm leaders need to explore ways to develop, strengthen and grow their programs for keeping employees satisfied and committed to high performance.

With careful preparation, firms can succeed amidst today’s workplace realities by re-evaluating their retention strategy, and through effective strategies to proactively discover and mitigate retention risks. With the prospect of increasing mergers as baby boomers retire, having the right talent in the right roles, will be imperative if firms are to be successful and remain independent.

In this webinar, Tracy White from Clark Nuber P.S., a leading employer in Washington state and one of the 50 Best Small and Medium Companies to Work for in America, will share successful examples of initiatives being undertaken at her firm to attract and retain an all-star professional services talent pool. Janis McEwen will then follow with a brief introduction and demonstration of Halogen eAppraisal for Professional Services, in which the employee performance management and the 360 feedback process can be automated.

Key takeaways from this webinar include:

• The 5 most important factors for employee retention:
  • Compensation
  • Ongoing learning and development
  • Career support
  • Rewards and recognition
  • Culture synch
• Ways to optimize the 5 factors to be more aligned with firm best practices
• Strategic benefits of a web-based performance review and 360 feedback system
