Webinar: Attracting Talent in 2023 and Beyond: Financial, Holistic and Overall Wellness Strategies – Presented by Bank of America

EVENT DESCRIPTION

It’s the great migration or perhaps even the great realignment — talent is the great opportunity in the 21st Century. Financial Wellbeing has become the guiding light for employees and provides a chance for businesses to reimagine talent strategy. Moreover, as a society we are engaging with an increasingly diverse workforce. Employers need to understand the impact that this diversity has on talent attraction, retention and workplace benefit programs. The emphasis is increasingly on “holistic wellness,” — which includes mental health, physical health, and financial security considerations.

In this session, we will share new research from Bank of America, unpack key trends impacting the future of talent, including a special focus on the topic of Women and Financial Wellness.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

– Define financial wellness from the employee voice
– Identify unique approaches to recruit and retain critical talent
– Extend support that contributes to your employees’ overall wellbeing

Following the speakers’ presentations, they will engage in a moderated Q&A session.
