Jon Finch Senior Vice President of Training for Milwaukee Tool

Build your team. Build your business. Build your future. Every leader knows how important the people on the team are for success, but not every leader knows how to adapt to new generations, new technology, or remote work. This dynamic session will help you be more effective in proactively recruiting your future team and keeping the right people on your team.

IEC and Milwaukee Tool have partnered to bring you strategies and tactics you can apply now that will impact your business for generations. Jon Finch, SVP Training, will share details on how recruiting messages have changed within Millennials and Gen Z. Learn how to leverage technology within your recruiting efforts. Discover how to retain your best employees within a gig economy workforce, and study the development efforts that sustain a culture of growth, agility, and resiliency.

The massive changes we have seen in the last year related to Covid-19, remote work, and social justice have had a significant impact on how we recruit and retain our teams. Join us to learn how to leverage your strengths and improve your close rate on top talent to guarantee your future success.

Jon has spent the last 20 years working on finding the best people to help the company realize growth of over 20% each year. Jon has held multiple roles in sales, operations, training, and recruiting. Jon inspired the vision for and built the Pudwill Leadership Center to train and develop employees to quickly learn the business and be successful in their roles. Jon embraces the technology for each generation entering the business and has focused on the profitability required to sustain growing business needs. With over a decade of recruiting and leadership experience, Jon has a trained eye for the future and has led multiple teams to engage the next generation of talent. Jon is a thought leader in the industry and has spent the last few years sharing Milwaukee’s success in recruiting, developing, and leading the best people with interactive sessions throughout the building construction industry.
