Tuesday, September 20, 2022
8:00am - 9:30am

With job openings at record highs and unemployment rates at record lows, companies across the country are feeling the effects. The tight labor market has only been inflamed by the pandemic. But the work still needs to be done, and the question remains: who will do it? We hosted a webinar with a panel of experts who addressed this critical question and discussed strategies and tactics they have implemented in their organizations.

Our panelists discussed:

• Ways to explore untapped talent resources in the market through candidates who are neurodivergent
• What it takes to employ, develop, and manage team members who are neurodivergent
• A first-hand account of a neurodivergent team member who will share the impact she has had on her colleagues and her company

Moderator:

• Bobbi Kelly, Director-in-Charge, Talent Advisory, Kreischer Miller

Panelists:

• Krista DeGuffroy, Senior Diversity Recruitment Consultant, Vanguard
• Dr. Thomas Edwards Jr., DPS, Chair, Department of Engineering, Technology, and Management, Temple University
• Robyn Pollack, Esquire, Workplace Culture Strategist and Founder, Loutel
• Emma Billingsley, Graduate Student, West Chester University
