A few North Bridge Staffing team members had the opportunity to attend the Staffing World 2022 event in Las Vegas. We were able to witness seminars from multiple influential professionals in the staffing and recruiting industry, like Michael Levitt and Suky Sodhi, along with Magic Johnson as a keynote speaker!

Here are some of our major takeaways are from two particular sessions, “Managing Organizational Stress and Beating the Great Resignation” and “Building a Self-Managed, Seven-Figure Recruitment Desk.”

Managing Organizational Stress and Beating the Great Resignation

The Great Resignation: The Great Resignation is an ongoing economic trend in which employees have voluntarily resigned from their jobs en masse, beginning in early 2021.

Why? Relocation, reconsideration, reshuffling, retirement, reluctance
