Local Workforce Consultant Shares Opportunities to Strengthen Retention Across Generations

Nevada’s EmployNV Business and Career Hub programs offer a wide range of employer incentives, from recruitment support and hiring events to financial assistance through On-the-Job Training (OJT) and wage subsidies such as the Silver State Works program.

LaToya Russell, Trainer and Workforce Optimization Specialist, recently noted that with thoughtful policy updates and modern workplace practices, these well-funded programs can become even more impactful for both employers and employees. 

For example, companies that adopt flexible time-off policies are more likely to retain talent that values work-life balance, which allows them to maximize the benefits of the training investments received through these initiatives.

Russell emphasizes that one opportunity lies in fostering collaboration across the four generations currently in the workplace. She believes that pairing financial incentives with policy updates and enhanced communication strategies can help bridge these generational differences and create long-term retention.

“These programs are valuable, and when employers complement them with modern workplace strategies, the results can be powerful,” Russell added. “By evolving policies and communication approaches, organizations can create environments where employees thrive and workforce programs deliver lasting returns.”

As a trainer and frequent speaker on workforce optimization, Russell is inviting leaders, policymakers, and workforce organizations to explore how to align monetary incentives with modern workplace strategies that benefit employers and meet evolving employee expectations.
