The employer brand is an essential component of your recruiting and talent acquisition process. This panel will discuss why maintaining a positive employer brand is important during this rapidly changing environment. Speakers will offer their perspectives on branding, employee engagement, community relations, talent recruitment, and retention.

Panel III - The New Science of Compensation & Benefit Policies

As the COVID-19 pandemic has unfolded and led to unprecedented health and economic crises, employers are being forced to evaluate their rewards strategies across all levels of the organization. This panel will discuss how to align C&P with a company's business goals to maintain a competitive edge and gain long-term recognition.
