Those attending ASA’s Talent Recruitment & Retention presentation will take away a comprehensive knowledge of the current situation, how we got here, what we need to know to address this issue and what resources are available to help find the talent we need to ensure our ongoing success.
O’Neal said he’s excited to join Molla on the panel.
“Small, medium or large, every business success is determined by the daily execution of the team. The talent you recruit and ultimately retain will determine your level of success.
“Building a dream team is something successful entrepreneurs have figured out, and our panel is designed to help you create a road map to building and retaining your dream team.”
– Jeremy O’Neal, owner of AdvisorFix
“When asking our members what keeps them up at night, finding qualified talent for the business is at the top of the list.
“The panel we’ve put together for the ASA Annual Meeting will address this issue in depth, covering where we are, how we got here and what the industry is doing to meet this challenge.”
– Tony Molla, ASA’s Vice President of Industrial Relations
The discussion will be a four-hour session in two parts. Molla will lead a panel discussion, and O’Neal will follow with a “Town Hall” event.
During O’Neal’s portion, attendees will “have the opportunity to share ideas and ask questions of our panelists.”
“It will be an interactive experience that is sure to provide one or two nuggets that will help get a handle on where to find the talent we need to succeed,” Molla said.
