Finding & Keeping Great People: Recruitment, Retention & Inclusive Employment

Whether you're a business owner, recruiter, HR professional or people manager, you'll leave with fresh ideas to help your organisation find, develop and keep great people while delivering meaningful social value in Stockport.

Finding the right people and keeping them can feel tougher than ever. With skills shortages, changing workforce demographics and increasing expectations around social value, many employers are looking for practical solutions that work in the real world.

Join us for a lively and informative session exploring what the workforce landscape looks like in Stockport and how businesses can tap into new talent pools, improve retention and build stronger, more diverse teams.

You'll hear from employers, community organisations and employment specialists, discover local success stories, including the Economic Inactivity Trailblazer, and learn about the support available to help businesses connect with talented people who are often overlooked by traditional recruitment approaches.

We'll explore:

Current recruitment and retention challenges

Skills gaps and workforce trends in Stockport

Opportunities to access untapped talent

How inclusive employment can support business success and social value goals

Support available for disabled people, care leavers, young people, returners to work, over-50s and other underrepresented groups

You'll also hear the Proper Good story of how PIE, Grassroots Recruitment and NextGen Stockport have brought together employers, education and the voluntary sector to create new pathways into work and develop innovative approaches through the Work & Skills Trailblazer.

Expect practical ideas, honest conversations, useful connections and actionable takeaways you can put into practice straight away.
