PT WORK Force’s Latest Recruitment and Retention Resources

The need to find right-fit people and motivate your employees to take advantage of future growth opportunities is more important than ever. Because of the generous contributions made this year by companies and individuals to the PTDA Foundation, PT/MC employers are further empowered in their recruitment and retention efforts.

From October 2021 through March 2022, PT WORK Force has brought valuable insight and resources to help employers maximize their workforce—whether in the plant, the warehouse or in a work-from-home environment—by providing programs and services to assist with talent growth and development, including helping them:

• Approach stress management as energy management using science and hard-earned wisdom to reclaim energy, productivity, health and happiness care of Dr. Cindi Ackrill’s webinar “How to Better Manage Your Energy to Feel Less Stress.”

​
