Deirdre Bird, Director of HR Consulting Services of VonLehman CPA & Advisory Firm, will discuss best practices for contractors and construction business owners to engage and retain your employees, bettering your workforce. Mike Lantz, President and Founder of ML Talent Strategies, will unpack the key elements to building a world-class TalentDNA inside your organization that will attract top talent and put you on the path to winning the war for talent.
