Recruit & Retain with Purpose
The Great Resignation of 2021 made one thing clear—it’s never been more important, or more difficult, to recruit and retain talented, values-driven leaders. Organizations are finding that one factor helps them go from status quo to status grow: Purpose.

In this webinar program, part of the ILA’s Power of Purpose Summit Series, our distinguished panel of experts tackle the questions executives are asking: How can we attract great people to our org? And what will entice them to stay? The answer? Purpose.

Outcome of Attending

  • Why integrating purpose into your recruitment and onboarding processes is critical.

  • How leaders can coach on purpose to engage employees in the work that matters most to them, their teams, and the enterprise.

  • New metrics for measuring the impact of purpose on your recruitment and retention strategies.
