Many banks are grappling with the “great reshuffle” – a fallout from the global pandemic. Executives and employees at all levels are reassessing their career goals and work-life balance. Do you have the best retention strategies in place to keep leaders engaged, motivated and developing, to ensure a healthy talent and succession pipeline? In this session, we explore ways organizations can differentiate themselves when competing for talent and create retention strategies beyond pay and benefits. The discussion includes: being proactive about succession planning and identifying high-potential employees; improving culture and investing in diversity, equity and inclusion programs; and creating individualized development plans that will engage and grow leaders and high potential employees.
