The session will cover:

- How can businesses best attract a wide range of talent?
- What does the next generation expect from their future employer?
- How can businesses embed environmental understanding across all roles?

- How can businesses effectively work with partners and the education sector to boost the green economy skills base?
"Skills shortages represent one of the biggest challenges faced by the net zero transition, but are businesses do everything they can to attract, develop, and retain the talent they need to grow their business and accelerate the roll out of clean technologies and greener business models?" asked BusinessGreen editor-in-chief James Murray, who will chair the webinar.
"Our latest BusinessGreen Spotlight webinar brings together leading experts to offer their insights into how to recruit and retain a team that is well paced to prosper in the fast-evolving future economy."
