Is it flexibility or culture?

In order to attract talent, you need to offer a flexible work schedule and individual workl-ife balance. In order to keep your talent, you need a great company culture and social activities. Sounds like an easy combination. How can we balance this and get the best of both worlds? 

Join our October Talent Smash and our brilliant panel to learn more, get inspired and discuss with likeminded people. 

Tickets to the event is free of charge, but limited. So make sure you sign up in time.

This event is perfect for anyone in leadership, HR, talent attraction, recruitment—or anyone who’s passionate about the topic!
