The Otsego County Chamber

2023 - Smart Business Seminar - Rural & Small Business Summit

Wellbeing, Retention, and Recruitment in Today’s Workforce
Managers and Supervisors in central New York report that they spend an average of 40% of their time on issues related to employee struggles with mental health and wellbeing. Join us for a look at strategies for improving workplace wellbeing as well as considerations for hiring and working with those who may be in recovery from addiction or mental health issues.
