HR Leaders Roundtable: Strategies for Employee Retention

Connect. Collaborate. Strengthen Your Workforce.

Calling all HR leaders, talent recruiters and talent development specialists!

The Canton Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Stark-Tuscarawas Workforce Development Board invite you to kick off our 2027 HR event series with a networking lunch and collaborative roundtable focused on one of today's most pressing workforce challenges: employee retention.

As employers continue to navigate an evolving workforce landscape, retaining talented employees is more important than ever. This event will feature three local business leaders sharing their organizations' approaches to employee retention, including strategies, lessons learned and best practices that can help strengthen your workforce.

Following the presentations, attendees will have an opportunity to connect with fellow HR professionals, exchange ideas and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing employers throughout our region.

Featured Speakers:

  • Cindy Dilauro, Regional Manager of Learning & Development
    Crown
  • Joel McKenzie, Human Resources Business Partner
    Tractor Supply
  • George Rosche, Owner/Operator
    Chick-fil-A Dressler

Why Attend?

Learn about Workforce Solutions: Learn about regional workforce solutions that will help you hire, train, retain, and attract talent.

Join us for the first HR Leaders Roundtable of 2027 and be part of the conversation about building stronger workplaces and retaining talent in Stark County.
