Shannon Milhollin, founder of Empower Your Event, joins the podcast to unpack how internal and recruiting events can drive real business results. She discusses the ROI of experience, how purposeful design influences culture, and why comfort, connection, and creativity should be central to every internal event. From rethinking job fairs to aligning HR and sales teams, Shannon brings a fresh, strategic take on event planning that goes far beyond logistics.
Key Episode Segments:
• ROI of Experience: Events must move beyond logistics and deliver emotional, cultural, and business value.
• Connection Drives Retention: A single meaningful relationship can influence an employee’s decision to stay.
• Culture Isn’t Accidental: Thoughtful event design creates experiences that align with company values.
• Rethinking Job Fairs: Swap booths for immersive zones, brand stories, and real employee engagement.
• Metrics That Matter: Internal events should track ROI and ROE—retention, motivation, and team engagement.
