IPC President and CEO Dr. John W. Mitchell Releases New Book, 'Fire Your Hiring Habits'
June 20, 2023 | IPCEstimated reading time: 1 minute
Fire Your Hiring Habits: Building an Environment that Attracts Top Talent in Today's Workforce, by IPC President and CEO Dr. John W. Mitchell has been published by Forbes Books and is now available. Proceeds from the book will go to the IPC Education Foundation (IPCEF) to support careers in the electronics manufacturing industry.
In Fire Your Hiring Habits, Mitchell shakes up the hiring status quo with his views on the changing hiring landscape, and how businesses can attract and retain top talent today. Using real-world examples culled from Mitchell’s career, his book tackles relevant workforce issues such as recruiting and onboarding, talent pipelines, upskilling, corporate culture and more.
Within the book, Mitchell reframes The Great Resignation as a Great Reprioritization on the part of workers, and perhaps more importantly, a Great Reimagining for leaders, noting that employers are missing the key factors that motivate good people to stay, and the reasons why they leave in today’s business environment.
"How we structure our organizations, how we acquire talent, and how we interact with staff will determine the long-term viability of our companies,” explains Mitchell. “This book is all about helping leaders that are anxious about their long-term hiring prospects and embracing new ways of retaining talent.”
Fire Your Hiring Habits: Building an Environment that Attracts Top Talent in Today's Workforce is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Audible. To learn more about Mitchell’s book, visit https://johnwmitchell.com/book/.
