Greater Lafayette looks to recruit, retain top talent

Human resources representatives of Greater Lafayette companies are working to attract and retain young professionals.

They were part of a daylong discussion on the topic sponsored by Tippy Connect, Purdue and Greater Lafayette Commerce.

One issue they’re dealing with is what’s available for young professionals to do outside of work.

Tippy Connect president Brianne Keyes says she was not surprised by any of the points brought up, but she thinks executives learned quite a bit.

“How can we encourage people to get involved? How can we help young professionals make those connections?” she ask. “I think that’s a lot of the gap that we’re all talking about and how can we fill this.”

Keyes says one idea is to develop a mobile app that contains information about area events, but she admits there are other ways to approach the situation.

Feedback and information gathered during the panel discussions will be examined over the coming weeks by the event organizers.
