Recap, highlights, and my thoughts
One of my favorite things these days is to explore new topics on the podcast! Today in my conversation with Dena Ayala, the President & CEO of Spencer Reed Consulting we dive into the role workplace retirement plans play in an employers ability to recruiting talent.
This is a pretty timely episode based on the current historically low unemployment rate and the war for talent that has been raging in many industries and geographies around the country. Dena provides great input on what questions she gets from candidates about an employers 401(k) plan during the recruiting process, her observations on some things she sees employers doing well and where they can improve in their recruiting efforts and I also gave her the opportunity to share some insights from her 20 years of experience working with employers of all shapes and sizes that takes us out of the realm of retirement plans!
