As we know, labor is the highest cost to an organization. As inflation continues to impact our economy, the effects are not only impacting our supply chains, but also our talent pipelines. Not to mention there’s an ongoing pandemic, advancements in social justice, and the great resignation have made it a candidate’s market, so companies have to pay top dollar for top talent.

During this episode, we’ll be chatting with our guest, Alison DiFlorio, Co-Founder and Managing Partner of Exude Human Capital, to take this to the local level to understand how the national issue of inflation is impacting here in our own city of Philadelphia. Alison will discuss what we, as employers, could be doing differently to remain competitive in today’s talent landscape. She’ll be giving us tips and questions to consider when you’re setting up your compensation and workforce strategy.
