Learn how Cook & Boardman’s boomer and millennial HR duo are refining their recruitment process to generate a sustainable pipeline of promotable internal talent. 

We all know (and believe) the clichés – that our employees are our greatest asset and that we want to be the employer of choice in our industry. But with unemployment at low levels and the Boomers retiring, how do you creatively recruit to find the best talent and stay ahead of the competition?  You have the opportunity to hear from Emily Towery, Vice President, Human Resources and Kelly Kirchman, Talent Development Manager as they share:

  • An overview of the program they developed.
  • The challenges they have experienced and the lessons learned.
  • The changes they have championed to retain these employees.
  • How they have combined strategic objectives with the company’s core values to lay the foundation for Cook & Boardman to continue to “build on their reputation.”
