Today’s law professionals aren't just looking for financial compensation; they are looking for firms to provide career guidance and development, innovative mentoring, and a blend of good work and quality of life.

How can you target the right people who will succeed in your firm’s culture, and keep the employees in whom you have invested so much?

IOMA’s Associate & Paralegal Retention Strategies CD Box Set conveniently combines two of our most popular programs into one collection, featuring Associate Retention Strategies That Work! and How to Effectively Utilize Paralegals to Increase Retention and Firm Profits.

Associate Retention Strategies That Work!

Take a look beyond the statistics and into the strategies that firms can use to help associates meet their full potential—and control a very expensive loss of talent. This 90-minute recording looks at:

• How to craft a retention plan that focuses on both extrinsic (tangible rewards, like compensation and benefits) and intrinsic rewards
• Coming up with a bottom line assessment that will rally partners to do their part to retain valued midlevel associates
• Best practices from law firms that manage to hold onto talent, especially given the ongoing surge in lateral hiring of midlevel associates
• The 3 major themes of keeping employees happy—which are you missing?
• Alternative career paths that leading-edge firms are utilizing to keep associates after those early years who are not interested or may not yet have the qualifications for partnership
• How to facilitate knowledge transfer between partners and associates—and how to hold partners accountable for the development of associates
