About This Event
Introduction:
Innovation has hit human resources — transforming how we attract, train and retain A-list digital talent. Companies are finally moving beyond the job board and pile of resumes approach. Join General Assembly and MassTLC for The Future of Talent — an event series that explores how Boston’s top tech companies are redefining how they create an employer culture of growth and success.
Featured Experts:
Online furniture giant Wayfair is not just revolutionizing how we furnish our lives. They are innovators in the HR space, implementing ground-breaking programs to vet and train a diverse pool of new tech talent in Boston. Learn from the leaders and participants of their new Labs program through a short case study. Then join in an interactive discussion led by Monster.com's director of talent acquisition on how to translate these best practices to your own company.
What You’ll Take Away:
Whether you’re working at a large tech company, early stage startup, or small business — learn practical tips for implementing a training and on-boarding program that suits your company needs and size.
Why It Matters:
Acquiring a new employee can cost up to 20% of the hire’s annual salary. Learn from Wayfair’s experience pioneering an in-depth, on-ramping program and get essential guidance to help you reduce employee turnover, improve team productivity, and elevate your own company’s employer brand.
