ON DEMAND WEBINAR
Duration: 34 minutes​

​​
The Great Resignation has empowered workers and tested businesses competing for their talents unlike any other time in recent history. Attracting and retaining talent in this market means looking beyond the low-hanging fruit of higher wages and flexible schedules. 

​​ This challenge is not unique to any one state, but Iowa is uniquely positioned to meet it. Beyond the state’s rapid post-pandemic economic recovery, new investments in quality childcare, infrastructure and Iowans’ overall quality of life position the state as a leading competitor for top talent.

​​ Companies operating in Iowa have become even more savvy with their attraction and retention strategies as well. In fact, John Deere is leveraging the state’s resources to introduce an array of initiatives intended to expand its workforce through community outreach, new apprenticeships, programs for veterans and more.  Tune in to this webinar to learn more about how John Deere has steeled its workforce and how Iowa’s business climate helps these programs flourish.
