At Ignite, not only do we have amazing keynote speakers come in and share their knowledge with everyone- but we have workshops to get you thinking and moving around on Tuesday as well. Check out below or head to the workshop page for more information (especially when deciding which sessions you'll be attending!)
Employment Laws and Regulations
Employment laws and regulations are constantly evolving at the federal, state, and local levels. Our NCW "General Counsel", Joe Pettygrove, will touch on critical topics that effect our workforce and business.
Client Panel
During this session we will have clients come in for a Q&A panel.
Magnet Culture: The Evolution of Employees from A to GenZ
The Evolution of Employees from A to GenZ goes into depth about the "why" behind the mindsets of our multigenerational workforce. They will be doing TWO sessions.
Leadership Panel
During this panel we will have some of our NCW leadership come in and talk about their time at NCW.
Katrina Collier - Embracing AI to Enhance Human Connection
Katrina will go into more detail on how we can utilize AI to better our practices within NCW, but still keeping our core focus on the human part of recruiting.
NCW History
NCW History is a staple to Ignite, with Dan and Steve going over the history of how NCW started 25 years ago. We highly recommend this for newer NCW employees!
