From Résumé to Retention
Pre-Conference Certification Course | January 27, 2027
Instructor: David Miller, Founder, Red Earth Strategy Group
Today’s Tribal workforce challenge isn’t simply a matter of old versus young. It’s the growing disconnect between Gen X and Millennial leaders responsible for hiring and the Gen Z talent entering the workforce with different expectations, communication styles, and workplace priorities.
In this interactive certification course, attendees will explore practical strategies for attracting, interviewing, managing, and retaining today’s workforce while supporting Tribal workforce goals and Indian Preference policies. Participants will learn how to conduct structured behavioral interviews that better predict performance, improve communication across generations, and develop leadership practices that directly support employee retention.
Through engaging discussions and live case-study roundtables, attendees will gain real-world insights into the challenges facing Tribal HR departments and leave with actionable tools they can immediately implement within their organizations.
Key Takeaways:
- Behavioral interviewing techniques that are structured, defensible, and effective
- Strategies for bridging communication gaps between managers and Gen Z employees
- Practical approaches to improving employee retention and engagement
- Interactive case-study discussions with fellow Tribal HR professionals
