Solving the talent equation has never been more critical for economic development organizations (EDOs). Demographic changes, lower labor force participation rates, the rise of remote work, and the increased focus on DEI – among other trends – have turned old workforce strategies and assumptions on their head. As a result, EDOs are taking new approaches to ensure community competitiveness. They are engaging in talent pipeline and development strategies, talent attraction and retention programs, initiatives to remove barriers to labor force participation and more. Join this webinar to learn about the latest research on developing successful strategies for workforce-constrained environments. This webinar is sponsored by IEDC's Economic Development Research Partners program.
