Attracting and retaining new talent has been a hot topic for a few years, and for very good reasons.

We hate to point fingers, but the profession is aging (*cough* we are too) and new talent is a great way to start preparing your succession plan or exit strategy.

Plus, let’s face it, a new generation means new technology skills, new ideas, and fresh energy that can only help firms grow and thrive. But, what do they want? How do you prove you’re ready and willing to help employees build their careers? Let’s ask!

Join as we dive into the why’s and how’s of attracting and retaining new talent. During this episode of Thomson Reuters Backstage, we’ll talk to three accounting students, Paul Miller from Business by Design, and Will Hill from Thomson Reuters about:

What new graduates expect from a career as a CPA and how firms can respond.
How a current firm thinks about hiring new talent and a few of their best practices for retention.
Why a specific onboarding and retention plan is critical to a new hire’s success and long-term happiness.
