The document discusses strategies for recruiting and retaining young talent. It notes a 30% decrease in membership from June 2012 to June 2013 but has stabilized more recently. Retaining young employees is important as the ratio of labor to retirees is currently 6:1 but projected to decrease to 3:1. Some strategies proposed include embracing an open culture, selecting candidates through a rigorous self-selection process, treating employees like family, and giving them freedom and opportunities to develop in their roles.
