Ep 77: Employee Advocacy, Culture And Talent Attraction
Talent Attraction in areas of extreme skill shortage is something that is consistently difficult. I\u2019m always interested in any creative ways that employers are using to tackle the problem, particularly when they don\u2019t have a massive budget or unlimited resources to use to solve it.
