Summary:
Attracting and retaining talent is becoming more crucial for every industry. Associations, being company agnostic, can help the industry as a whole. Associations can become the conduit and resource to attract, train, and retain talent for their industry. Small and medium-size employers, companies where most people are employed, lack the education, training, and outreach budgets; this is an opportunity for associations to increase non-dues revenue. Associations are the pioneers of lifelong learning and need to better position themselves as they face greater competition. Unfortunately, when people outside of the association world discuss workforce development, associations are often not part of the conversation. Understand how associations can address workforce shortage, how to leverage income share agreements, and how to upskill for retention.
