Community conversations can be impactful when it comes to creating change. A common theme for businesses across Northwest North Carolina centers around the ability to recruit and retain staff. Approaching these approaches "the same old way," is not providing the best results when it comes to filling positions and fostering longevity. What are the questions you should be asking as you are looking to build your team? What are employees of today valuing most when it comes to picking a career pursuit?

On this week's Mind Your Business we preview the 4th annual Vision Northwest North Carolina economic development summit, set for May 25th in Boone. The theme of this year's event centers around Returning and Retaining Today's Workforce. We'll examine some of the main community conversations around educational attainment and how asking the right questions of your staff can lead to a more efficient way of doing business in the future.

Mind your Business is produced weekly by the Boone Area Chamber of Commerce. The radio show airs each Thursday morning at 10:05AM on WATA (1450AM/96.5FM) in the High Country.

The podcast version of the program is made possible each week by Appalachian Commercial Real Estate and sponsored in part by Appalachian Regional Healthcare System.
