Each quarter, the Engage Mentoring Executive Talent Roundtables meet and have a focused discussion on a topic related to attracting, retaining, and developing talent.
At our recent Engage Mentoring Executive Talent Roundtable meeting, the focus topic was on creating employee volunteer programs and the impact on talent attraction and retention. To prepare for the discussion, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Craig Smaagard, RVP at Thrivent Financial and Founder of Activate Indy.
Some of the topics we discussed included the importance of volunteerism, particularly as it relates to employee engagement and retention strategies.
