The iRelaunch Employer (Virtual) Speaker Series

"Building the best employer return to work programs"

Employers: The health crisis and economic decline brought on by COVID-19 forces a rethinking of how we manage for the future. At iRelaunch, this is not our first recession. In the last downturn, we were energized by the forward-thinking, pipeline-building mindset of our employer community. As we rode into depths of the recession and back out again, more and more employers partnered with us to engage with relaunchers.

This time we believe more than ever, that employers with return to work programs in place when we emerge from the downturn and hiring starts up again, will be best positioned to recruit top candidates and achieve excellent results.

Our ”Building the best employer return to work programs” (virtual) speaker series is for you - our employers looking beyond COVID and beyond the downturn, to build top talent pipelines to fuel their future hiring. 

We will bring you leaders from across industry sectors - expert practitioners who built the top return to work programs. We will start with a discussion of their programs, emphasizing key topics, and then open it up for Q and A. Anyone who has been to one of our four prior iRelaunch “Critical Issues in Return to Work Programming” in-person events will remember how fruitful and substantive these sessions were. 

Learn from employers who have built the top return to work programs about how they did it. Submit your interest in attending by filling out the form in the link below. Approved inquiries will receive the link to participate.
