We have so much to think about, and to look forward to, in 2024! 

The business environment is changing rapidly, and we must stay nimble to be successful. Many issues are top-of-mind such as the possibility of a four-day work week, the battle over remote versus in-office work, impending reductions in the workforce, caps on salary increases, and a plethora of new staffing and labor laws. We must be alert to, and informed of, these trends to be prepared for the coming year!

Search and staffing firms can continue to do good business by strengthening their client relationships, improving communications, networking more with peers, and enhancing knowledge about exploding technologies such as AI and other powerful digital productivity platforms.

I am excited to announce our second annual Leadership Summit will again be held at the Buckhead Club, Atlanta, GA. Join us May 8th & 9th for industry updates with Barb Bruno (Good As Gold Training), network with your peers, make new connections, and listen to an array of interesting topics presented by industry leaders.
