Cara Silletto’s Speech Topics

  • The Magnet Advantage: Becoming a Team of Retention Champions

    When employee turnover seems never-ending, it negatively affects everyone on staff and keeps organizations from building cohesive teams. As many organizations remain consistently understaffed, it becomes vital that everyone plays a part in improving retention. Doing so means less stress and more restful sleep at night for all!


    This session will energize and empower your entire team to reduce “us versus them” conflicts at work. Participants will leave this powerful, engaging session with a renewed sense of commitment to the organization and ownership in the retention solution. Our people are our greatest retention advocates, so let’s all attract others onto our teams, instead of repelling the talent we can’t afford to lose.


    Learning Objectives:

    • Learn how to increase personal and team accountability, especially among new hires
    • Grow awareness of self and others, learning ways to reduce judgment and conflict
    • Become a magnetic Retention Champion who helps reduce team turnover
  • Embracing the Culture Era: An Updated Guide to Leading Today’s New Workforce

    Amidst the continued challenges of attracting and retaining talent, leaders are grappling with disengaged employees who no longer respond to traditional management styles. The former one-size-fits-all approach has become obsolete as today’s team members each require a personalized care plan. This demands more time and attention from already overloaded leaders, who have the most influence on whether people stay or go.


    We must prioritize culture and lead differently to meet the unique needs of today’s workforce. Join us to explore the new Magnet Culture guide to create a place where people want to work.


    Learning Objectives

    • Explore the workforce evolution and how critical it is for managers to own their impact
    • Discover ways to better guide and support staff on an individual level
    • Learn to influence team members’ levels of accountability and awareness
  • Workforce Wake-up Call

    Finding and keeping lasting talent today is harder than ever because the employer-employee relationship has evolved dramatically since the days of lifelong pensions. While organizations can reduce employee turnover, they cannot eliminate it, which means staffing challenges – and their financial impact – are here to stay. We’ve reached a tipping point now where managers and employees can no longer “do more with less,” and still meet organizational goals and customer expectations, so bold changes are needed moving forward for organizations planning to remain in business.


    While many industries have normalized business practices that are no longer effective for managing today’s new workforce, executives hold the power to recalibrate to a more sustainable approach that balances operations and our people. Join us to explore the new Magnet Culture guide to operationalize unavoidable turnover and keep the staff we cannot afford to lose by creating a place where people want to work.


    Learning Objectives: 

    • Explore the perspective of today’s new hires to avoid the growing disconnect between leaders and staff
    • Reconsider organizational priorities, budgets, and systems to improve ROI on retention initiatives
    • Create sustainability by determining improvements to workloads, organizational structure, and compensation
  • It’s Not About Birth Year: The Evolution of Employees From a to GenZ

    Instead of fueling the “us versus them” fire on your team, it’s time to explore the “why” behind the unique mindsets of our multigenerational workforce. Understand how Baby Boomers, GenX, Millennials, and GenZ were raised differently and the impact of their upbringing on the employer-employee relationship. We will also dispel myths about younger workers’ perceived lack of professionalism and work ethic.


    Magnet Culture’s award-winning generational lens provides valuable insights to navigate key challenges and opportunities presented by today’s new workforce. It’s time to create a workplace that more effectively manages multi-generational teams, as one-size leadership styles no longer fit all.


    Learning Objectives

    • Explore today’s widening generational gaps to reduce judgment and improve team relationships
    • Uncover strategies to manage the spectrum of employee mindsets, from GenZ new hires to returning retirees
    • Learn critical tools leaders need to provide clear guidance and support for all staff
