Workforce Reimagined: Recruitment, Retention, Risk

February 19, 2026 11:00 AM - 1:30 PM (CST)

Description


*PANEL DISCUSSION

Workforce challenges are not just HR issues—they are leadership, operational, and business risks. Organizations must rethink how they attract, retain, and protect talent, using blended workforce models (full-time + contract + contingent workers) to build resilience and agility.  

The workforce has changed—and yesterday’s strategies no longer work. Join us for a leadership session exploring the 3Rs framework to:

Recruit top talent faster and more strategically, including contract and contingent options

Retain your best people by addressing leadership, growth, and burnout

Manage Risk by protecting continuity, knowledge, and culture

Walk away with practical actions for each R and a mindset shift: workforce is a strategic asset, not just a cost.

Register now to secure your spot!  Note: We are working on the flyer and details, but want you to not miss putting this one on your calendar!
