From First Impression to Long-Term Retention: The Employee Engagement Journey

Employee engagement and retention begin before an employee’s first day. In this session, Amanda Crockett draws on more than 10 years of HR experience to explore how the employee journey, from the job description and interview process through onboarding and the early assignment experience, can build trust, connection, and engagement.

As a seasoned HR professional specializing in employee relations, contingent workforce management, compliance, and organizational development, Amanda brings a practical, people-focused perspective to creating employee experiences that encourage employees to stay, succeed, and grow. Participants will gain practical strategies for turning those critical first interactions into stronger engagement, meaningful connection, and long-term retention. 

As an experienced public speaker and people-focused HR professional, she enjoys inspiring conversations around inclusive leadership, workplace culture, and creating environments where every individual is respected, celebrated, and given the opportunity to thrive.  Her approach is rooted in leading with empathy, fostering meaningful relationships, and championing a culture where everyone has a seat at the table and a voice that matters.

Amanda believes organizations thrive when people feel they belong.  By cultivating a culture grounded in empathy, inclusivity, and respect, leaders do more than improve workplace satisfaction; they unlock the full potential of their people.  The communities and teams that grow from these values become stronger, more innovative, and more resilient because every perspective is welcomed and every contribution is valued.

Her goal is to help create workplaces where inclusion is more than an initiative, it's part of the culture, and where people are empowered to bring their authentic selves to work every day.
