The People Advantage: Solving the #1 Challenge Together

Best Practices for Retention, Recruitment & Leadership

Retention remains the #1 workforce challenge for employers today—but no one organization has all the answers. Join HR professionals, business leaders, and workforce partners for an interactive Workforce Exchange where participants will share best practices, discuss real-world challenges, and leave with practical ideas they can implement immediately.

Facilitated by:

Tiffanie Clifford, President of Think Ahead, she brings over 20 years of experience in human resources, leadership development, and organizational coaching. Having served in senior HR leadership roles across multiple industries, she is passionate about equipping supervisors and leaders with practical tools to build engaged, high-performing teams.

Brandon Malloy, Owner, Express Employment Professionals, celebrating 21 years at Express Employment Professionals in McMinnville. Brandon is passionate about connecting employers with talent and helping businesses strengthen employee retention for long-term success, and is a dedicated advocate for the success of the region's employers and communities.

Whether you're a CEO, business owner, HR leader, operations manager, or supervisor, your perspective is valuable—and you'll leave with new connections and practical solutions to help your organization attract, retain, and develop great talent.

We hope you'll join us for this valuable conversation.
