ICIC CEO Series

CEO Series: Providing Expertise to Inner City Businesses

ICIC's monthly CEO Series is a free, interactive teleconference that features experienced and influential practitioners from the private sector sharing their business expertise. Focusing on a different topic each month, from pricing to marketing to financing options, these calls are designed with one primary goal: to provide valuable business strategies to companies wanting to succeed in an inner city economy.      

Next Call: Recruiting and Retaining Quality Employees         

The ability to recruit and retain the best talent sets great companies apart from the pack. Successful entrepreneurs are keenly aware that employees are their best assets. Hiring qualified talent helps businesses grow and gives them a competitive advantage, while failure to hire good talent decreases productivity and disturbs the culture of an organization.  Without the cash flow of their deeper-pocketed corporate counterparts, small businesses, in particular, have an even greater incentive to avoid the costly mistakes of bad hires.

In this series discover:

• Simple methods for hiring the right people
• How to save money by avoiding hiring mistakes
• How to retain the best employees
