Recruit Smart, Develop Smarter: BerryDunn Lunch & Learn

Local governments are facing a talent crisis decades in the making. Workforces built on institutional longevity are now experiencing mass retirement — and the knowledge, relationships, and institutional memory that kept operations running are walking out the door with them. The traditional response — post the job, fill the seat, repeat — is no longer enough. In this webinar, BerryDunn's Organization Development team members Michelle Kennedy and Traquillia Kennedy will challenge the assumption that hiring is where the talent conversation ends. Skills-based recruitment opens the door. But without a deliberate system to develop, retain, and grow the people who walk through it, local governments will keep cycling through the same gaps.
