Six Top Tips to Attract & Retain Top Talent

Attracting and retaining the best talent is the goal of most B2B Events employers.

According to our Q1. 2024 candidate survey, here are 6 top tips to help your events company stand out from the rest:

1. Professional Growth – provide structured training and development programs with defined and visible upward progression.

2. Resources – have enough of the right people to deliver events projects and create a manageable pace of work. Provide training to support people to do a great job in the time they have.

3. Positive culture fostered by transparent, accountable and people-focused leadership. An environment that rewards and celebrates successes.

4. Wellbeing – work-life balance through flexible working options, good holiday allowances, reasonable work expectations, access to mental and physical health support, and having someone to talk with when needed.

5.  Financial Rewards – Offer attractive & competitive packages that truly reflect the value of your people and their talent, hard work and commitment.

6. Create a supportive culture (from the top down) and an environment where people can comfortably ask for help.
