Talent Generation: How
to Engage Members in the Era of Disruption
Companies are less profitable today than they were in 1965. Job satisfaction
has been declining since 1987. Organizations are losing billions in
employee turnover. Global research indicates the top concern among executives
is their inability to recruit and retain talent.
What's this have to do with membership? Quite a lot, actually.
In this presentation, based on her latest ASAE-published book, Talent
Generation, Sarah Sladek shares the results of her study of the most
future-facing organizations in existence today, and serves up a call to action
on the important role associations must play in solving the global workforce
crisis.
According to Sladek, associations must be capable of not only successfully
navigating this era of disruption, but leading it. Associations must aspire to
not only serve their membership, but to actively contribute to the greater good
of our industries and communities. Her presentation promises to equip you with
valuable insights and inspire you to rethink how you do business and respond to
the challenges of the world.
