Special Edition AGN NextGen Program 2024: Road To Rome… via Nashville.

On 18th January, NextGenners worldwide connected for Road To Rome: Part 1. In an engaging 90-minute session, participants explored talent retention and recruitment strategies. A guest presenter provided valuable insights and breakout sessions allowed NextGen participants to hear innovative recruitment strategies deployed successfully by others, which motivate and engage their staff.

On March 8, a record-breaking number of AGN professionals from across the globe came together to inspire inclusion and honour the remarkable contributions of women in the workforce and amplify the visibility of female professionals on International Women’s Day. With around 100 attendees over two sessions to accommodate global time zones, the event served as a testament to AGN’s unwavering commitment to gender equality, diversity, and inclusivity in the workplace.

Recently, Ashfords held the International Recruitment Seminar, teaching businesses how to coordinate importing talent from overseas in response to the growing labour shortage in Australia. International recruitment has become more popular since the shortage of workers in Australia began. Businesses are interested in increasing their team productivity, expanding their access to skilled talent and diversifying their teams; all benefits brought by hiring international workers.

The AGN global conference rolls into town, and with it, a rather special training programme for AGN members’ future partners – The Advanced Leadership & Practice Management Program – which has become known amongst those involved as ALPP.
