Workshop - Empowering growth: approaches to talent acquisition and retention

In today’s talent-driven economy, the ability to attract, engage, and retain top people is no longer just an HR challenge—it’s a strategic priority for any growth-oriented business. Mid-sized European companies face a unique tension: they must compete with larger firms for talent, while maintaining the agility that defines them.
This one-day deep-dive workshop is designed for CEOs, founders, and HR senior managers who are ready to move beyond the basics of employer branding and perks. Together, we’ll explore what truly drives retention in 2025—and how to build people strategies that align with evolving employee expectations, hybrid work realities, and generational shifts. Through a blend of expert insights, real-world case discussion, and peer-to-peer exchange, participants will leave with:

• A clear picture of the core drivers of attraction and engagement today

• Tools to co-design talent strategies with leadership teams and HR team

• Fresh ideas from peers facing similar scale, complexity, and culture questions
 

If your company is scaling—and your people strategy hasn’t kept up—this workshop is where you close the gap.
 

Because talent is no longer a support function. It’s your competitive edge.
