The Pulse of Talent Retention - October 2025

October 14, 2025 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM (CDT)

Description


The Pulse of Talent Retention: Building Communities Where People Stay

What keeps employees from leaving? It’s the question on every employer’s mind, and one of the most pressing workforce challenges in the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo region. While attracting new talent is important, the real advantage comes from keeping the talent you already have.  

High turnover affects productivity, culture, costs, and long-term competitiveness. Retention shows up at every stage of the pipeline: helping students stay in school, encouraging graduates to build their careers here, and ensuring employees feel invested and valued in their workplaces. 

At The Pulse of Talent Retention, you’ll learn about local, regional and statewide initiatives designed to help employers retain employees and strengthen community connections. Business leaders, placemakers and community partners will share insights on how these efforts are shaping the region. You’ll discover valuable resources, see how intentional partnerships are fueling solutions locally, and take part in interactive Pulse Checks to share your perspective and help shape the conversation throughout the event.  

Most importantly, you’ll walk away with strategies you can use in your organization, opportunities to get involved and ways to help build a community where people not only work, but stay and grow. 

Who Should Attend? 

  • Community placemakers and civic leaders shaping quality of life in the region 
  • Employers of all sizes who want to stay competitive in today’s workforce market 

The Value You’ll Gain: 

  • Contribute to the regional conversation on building a stronger, more competitive FMWF 
  • Learn what The Chamber and partners are doing to help tackle workforce retention 
  • Hear from community leaders driving change through placemaking 
  • Actionable strategies to retain talent and strengthen workplace culture 

Don’t miss your chance to be part of the conversation shaping our region’s workforce future. Reserve your spot today and help create a community where people want to stay and thrive. 

Breakfast included with registration.
