KTR/WFP: Staffing and Attrition Challenges:
Increased competition for attracting nuclear talent has created a challenge for our industry to attract, develop, and most importantly, retain our most important asset, our people. This session will focus on common reasons why employees are leaving nuclear and explore ways to combat those reasons.
Presentation to include: trends on supply and demand, change in demographics, worker preferences (work-life balance, remote options), employer brand, competitive salaries, and hiring strategies.
LR: Legal Trends
The number of major strikes in the US rose to its second-highest level in two decades in 2022. Why does this matter and what should we know about recent cases that can help us avoid similar pitfalls? What are other current legal and organizing trends in this area?
The presentation will include case studies of recent labor disputes. What are the learnings and how can we avoid the same fate?
