Prying myself out of bed to attend early-morning meetings has become increasingly hard since the advent of a new baby (mine, I think), but I managed to do so today to attend a discussion about strategies to attract and keep talented workers in today’s economy. When someone raised the question of what employers are doing to save on health care costs, one woman giggled, which caught everyone’s attention. She then had no choice but to speak:
“Hiring young people,” she said.
“Finally, an honest person,” said the man who sat beside me, who works for a company that helps laid-off workers find new jobs.
The truth seeped out at a discussion held by Birkman International Inc. and Stanton Chase International at Northwood Country Club.
