What does the new generation want out of their work environment? In order to appeal to the future workforce, we must shift and reimagine how jobs function. Donald Bradburn, the Director of HR Strategy Design, Workforce Planning and Analytics for Southern California and Hawaii Markets, at Kaiser Permanente is joining us today to cover what employers can do to ensure their employees keep coming back in this fast paced world. With such high rates of turnover, we must shift our approach to career development and planning in order to provide more meaningful and long lasting relationships within the workforce. The key is starting with our educational programs and apprenticeships, and providing real support for employees. Discover how supporting employees and providing sufficient educational training can ensure strong relationships while still maintaining a high level of care.
