Succession Planning and Attracting Talent in 2024 with Jeff Bennett of Boaz Partners - Ep 159

Navigating the talent landscape of the chemical industry can be as complex and nuanced as the industry itself. This week, Victoria Meyer is joined by Jeff Bennett from Boaz Partners, a recruiter specializing in senior leadership placements within multiple sectors such as fragrances, cosmetics, and plastics. 

Victoria and Jeff discuss the strategies for succession planning, the art of retaining top talent, and the ever-evolving market challenges and opportunities. Additionally, Victoria and Jeff also address the changing norms of workplace environments, the impact of remote work on company culture, and the "gray tsunami"—an exodus of senior expertise leading to significant talent gaps.

Join Victoria and Jeff as they discuss the following:

• What are the job market trends today?
• Changing workplace norms
• Succession planning amidst the gray tsunami
• Talent war: What skills do companies value the most?
• Job markets for the rest of 2024

Killer Quote: "There are three types of people that you want to have in your back pocket. A good doctor, a good lawyer, and a good recruiter." - Jeff Bennett
