Victory! Winning Strategies for Higher Ed's Post-Pandemic War for Talent Nowhere is the war for talent more intense than on U.S. campuses. This talent war has a unique twist — instead of employees competing with each other for scarce jobs, employers are competing with each other to recruit and retain employees from a scarce talent pool. In this panel discussion, college and university senior leaders will share their strategies to win scrimmages as well as major victories in the intensified talent war. Presenters: Allison Vaillancourt, Vice President & Senior Consultant, Organizational Effectiveness, Segal; El pagnier Kay (EK) Hudson, Senior Vice President, HR, and Vice Provost, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, Florida International University; Heather Hart, Executive Director of HR, Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana-Lafayette |
