A panel discussion on how your organization can attract, engage, and retain great talent.

Hiring is hard. Training is harder. Engaging and retaining is the hardest. In today’s labor market, businesses aren’t just competing on wages; they’re competing on culture, flexibility, competitive benefits, leadership, growth opportunities, and employee experience.
So how do you build a workplace that people genuinely want to join – and stay in – when you don’t have enough time in the day or have Fortune 500 resources?
Join us during Small Biz Week West Michigan in partnership with the Grand Rapids Chamber for Creating Magnetic Workplaces Panel, a dynamic workshop designed specifically for small and medium-sized business owners and leaders.
Our panel of innovative HR and workplace experts will unpack what truly drives attraction, engagement, and retention in 2026 and how business leaders can create high-performing, people-centered cultures that fuel growth instead of burnout. We’ll move beyond buzzwords to practical strategies you can apply immediately, whether you have 10 employees or 1000. Because when leaders build strong workplaces, they don’t just reduce turnover; they strengthen teams, increase productivity, and contribute to a healthier regional economy.
Expect candid insights, actionable tools, and real-world examples tailored to the realities of every-day business leadership.
FREE for Bamboo members and Cooper People Group clients! Reach out to your team for the promo code.

I've had the opportunity to work out of both the Detroit and Royal Oak location and Bamboo, as a whole, is by far the greatest work environment you will find in the area.
