Powered By Talent: Retention

Powered By Talent is Northern Ireland’s only conference series dedicated to a business’s most important asset, its people. In advance of the main conference on May 22nd 2019, we are proud to present three supporting seminars on ‘Talent Attraction’, ‘Talent Retention’ and ‘Talent Development’.

The second of the three half-day seminars ‘Retention’ takes place at 1st Floor, Ten Square Hotel, Belfast city centre on Thursday, February 14th 2019 from 8:00 am.

Talented people are the centre of every successful business, it is impossible to survive, never-mind grow your business without retaining these key assets.
