Dinner Power-Hour: Understanding Succession Planning and High Potential Employee Retention 

How can leaders and management make organizational succession planning less of a last-minute reaction to employee turnover and more of an intentional cultivation of high potential employees within their organizations?  This power-hour dinner will provide practical, evidence-based information and tools to help leaders understand the steps to create organizational environments that value employee growth as well as lead to the identification of the organization's next generation of leaders and managers.  Participants will learn practical tools to help them put their learning into immediate practice.

*Dinner is included in this event
