Talk to me about how employers and employees can build positive hiring to retiring relationships. I have been working in HR and development since 1981. My passion is making work and working life better. I believe that the only way to create great experiences of work and employment is to help employers and employees to understand each other better. We need to get the basics right and then build organisations that are great places to work. Employers need to know how to build hiring to retiring relationships with their employees. Employees need to understand how to be good employees.
