Workplace Innovation
You Belong with US
The Columbus Chamber of Commerce supports every business we serve on their journey to becoming an employer of choice.
Welcome to the Workplace Solutions Hub, powered by Franklin County, where we connect our 2,500+ members to solution providers across the entire employee experience.
With a highly competitive job market, talent and HR leaders often struggle recruiting and retaining the skilled workers they need. Through our network, we offer support and guidance on establishing best practices and fostering healthy and productive workplaces.
Onboarding and Retention
Finding talent is certainly a challenge, but retaining talent is just as important. Onboarding practices create early connections and understanding between the new employee and the company. A poor onboarding experience can leave employees feeling uncomfortable, confused, and dejected. A survey by Paychex found that 52% of new hires feel undertrained after onboarding, with employees of small companies (66%) and remote workers (63%) suffering the most. Having a well-defined and engaging onboarding process is critical to employee retention. Our network of solution providers can help you explore and implement best practices, starting before day one and continuing through all stages of the employee experience.
Upskilling and Continuing Education
Upskilling and Continuing Education through customized and grant supported offerings. Our Regions is home to many post-secondary institutions who provide customized learning solutions, in addition to industry recognized credentials.

Benefits that Matter
The importance of employee benefits can’t be overstated – they ensure employees feel valued and cared for by your organization. Benefits can help them balance their work with their lives, boost their mental and physical wellness, and care for them when they need assistance. When benefits match employee needs and expectations, retention can increase by 22%. In Central Ohio, there is a strong network of providers offering innovative benefits solutions designed to help organizations attract, retain, and support top talent.
Company Culture
People’s behaviors at work are shaped by the organization’s collective beliefs and values. Applying the research supporting positive psychology to the workplace showcases the characteristics and behaviors that lead to individual workers flourishing. When people across the business flourish, the company does better as a whole and employees are happy. Happy and engaged employees are more productive and more likely to refer others to your organization.
