Biztalk With Bill Roy

Is your company having trouble attracting and retaining talent? You're not alone. Most of the company leaders we talk to say they are trying to find more talented workers to join their teams. The intensity of the search depends on the industry, but many say they have openings and they can't fill them with the right people. Jeff Fluhr and Leah Lavender say they're trying to help.

On episode 3, we talk with Jeff Fluhr, president of the Greater Wichita Partnership, to get an update on the importance of talent attraction and retention. We also discuss the importance of the continued progress in the downtown area.

Wichita Mayor Jeff Longwell has a message for owners of small- and medium-sized businesses in the area. "We care about you," Longwell says. This week Longwell also discusses balancing growth with keeping Wichita's favorable quality of life, and he lets us in on plans for his political future.
