SHOW NEW S
OIA - Thriving Business:
Workforce Trends in the
Post-Pandemic Era
11 a.m.-1 p.m., MR400s
As Outdoor Business Journal
recently reported, the industry's
Q1 fi nancial performance
can best be described as " up
and to the right. " Thanks to
unprecedented outdoor participation
rates and the prevailing
desire for physical-distancing-friendly
wide-open
spaces, it's no secret that the
industry is experiencing an
impressive rebound from the
COVID-19 pandemic. But as
companies ramp up to meet
increasing demand and decide
whether to return to the offi ce
or forego the offi ce entirely,
what can we expect to see
from the outdoor industry
workforce? How can you prepare
for return-to-offi ce-related
turnover? How will you
reinvest in developing your
high-potential employees?
How can you leverage headcount
to bring fresh perspectives
into your organization?
Join a panel of workforce
educators and outdoor industry
leaders as we discuss what
data from other industries is
telling us, what we can expect
to see in the coming months
and how to avoid getting
caught fl at-footed as the
post-pandemic work world
takes shape.
*OIA will host lunch tickets
redeemable at Outdoor Retailer
participating food trucks.
