S2E47: Where Have all the Workers Gone? - Interview with Phil Hauck

Small Business Survival Conversations

In this episode of our podcast, we had the opportunity to sit down with Phil Hauck, the Envision Board President and former journalist for the Wall Street Journal. With a wealth of experience working with businesses throughout his career, Phil shared his thoughts on the current state of the job market and the challenges that many employers are facing when it comes to finding qualified candidates to fill open positions.
According to Phil, it has been a common issue for the past two years that there simply aren't enough people to staff many businesses, leading to intense competition for top talent. To help address this problem, Phil recommended the book "Winning the War of Talent" by Chris Czarnik, which he believes offers valuable insights for both large and small businesses that are looking to recruit employees.
Throughout the interview, Phil also provided his perspective on the importance of building strong company cultures, the role of HR in attracting and retaining top talent, and how businesses can adapt to changing market conditions. If you're a business owner or HR professional looking for ways to improve your recruitment and retention strategies, this is an episode you won't want to miss!
