Reducing Turnover and Improving Retention

Identify why new hires fail and how businesses can improve fit, onboarding, communication, and expectations in Session 2 by Houston Kidd.
About this Event

Hiring is one of the most common growth barriers for small and mid-sized businesses, but many owners do not have access to practical recruiting expertise, current local labor market insight, or simple tools to diagnose what is actually breaking down. This program gives Virginia Beach businesses a usable hiring playbook they can apply immediately to attract stronger candidates, reduce costly vacancies, and build more reliable hiring systems.

Overview

The Virginia Beach Hiring Playbook is an education-first workforce growth program designed for small anc mid-sized businesses that are struggling to attract, hire, and retain reliable talent. The session is practical interactive, and built around real hiring problems that limit productivity, revenue, customer experience, and business expansion.

Participants will leave with a clearer understanding of where their current hiring process is breaking down, what candidates are responding to in the local market, and how to create a simple workforce action plan that improves hiring consistency.

Why This Program ls Different

This is not a generic HR workshop. This program is built from direct, ground-level interaction with Virginia Beach employers and job seekers. As the local owner of Express Employment Professionals in Virginia Beach, I am actively speaking with companies, candidates, hiring managers, and front-line workers across the market. Tha! gives participants practical insight into current hiring friction points, pay expectations, candidate behavior, retentior challenges, and immediate steps businesses can take to compete more effectively for talent.
