Transform how you recruit, retain, and understand your employees
Employer Action Lab Experience
In this brave and collaborative experience, employers learn from one another and support each other as they pilot a new approach to hiring, supporting, and retaining frontline and entry-level employees rooted in a people-centered, equitable systems change approach.
The Opportunity
Talent Rewire’s Employer Action Lab, a 10-month immersive learning experience, seeks to change the paradigm for both employers and employees by bringing together a cohort of employers who are committed to intentionally disrupting their current talent systems and practices in service of addressing their medium to long-term talent and business needs while also increasing opportunity for their frontline and entry-level workforce to build careers not just jobs.
