NEFA Fall Fest '19 :  The Best Culture Wins
(Click picture for more on Sean Abbas)

NEFA's Fall Fest is moving to Worcester, MA on November 16 & 17. Once again,  NEFA has put  together a tremendous series of workshops that feature the best names in the industry -- and some of the most important topics you will hear on a local level.  

Keynote Speaker Demonstrates why
"The Best Culture Wins"

NEFA is bringing renowned Management Expert, Sean Abbas of Threads Culture to explore new and innovative ways evaluate, retain, and build a strong team.

The Best Culture Wins is a case study on how HR and management worked together to build the best culture in a competitive industry. Not only did their culture produce financial results in the top 1% for comparable companies, but they transformed the idea of how leaders define, measure and improve company culture.

"I get more questions about attracting and retaining employees," offered Peter Blake, "than any other topic.  It is hard to build a successful team.  Sean has an unique and proven prospective on effective employee management."

This is a critical topic and all business owners and managers need to participate.
