Small Business Roundtable: Retaining Employees by Building Supportive Workplaces 8/26/2026 12:00 Noon - 8/26/2026 1:00 PM

Wed, 26 Nov 2025 17:06:03 GMT

The Chamber's free monthly Small Business Roundtable is an important educational and networking opportunity for small businesses. This event provides expert speakers on topics to help you grow your business, such as digital marketing and business development, and also gives you the opportunity to make connections and grow your professional network. The forum is applicable to a variety of businesses and employee levels, from front-line customer service to owners.

This Month's Topic: Retaining Employees by Building Supportive Workplaces

Description

This session, lead by Edgar Ndjatou, Principal at Officium, LLC, will focus on practical, real-world strategies small businesses can use to improve retention by strengthening workplace culture and day to day employee experience. We will cover how clear expectations, consistent communication, manager behaviors, and fair processes directly impact morale, productivity, and turnover risk. The discussion will also include creative approaches to providing meaningful employee benefits even when budgets are limited, helping organizations remain competitive without overextending financially. Attendees will leave with actionable tactics to create supportive environments where employees feel heard, respected, and motivated to stay, along with guidance on addressing early warning signs before they become costly departures.

Agenda

11:55 a.m.: Zoom Room Opens
12:00 - 1:00 p.m.: Presentation

Zoom Details

Attendees will receive a Zoom meeting link in their registration confirmation email.
