NEW YORK, May 21, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Part of the multi-day Hashtag Sports 2021 annual conference, the inaugural Job Recovery Summit presented by WorkInSports will provide practical and actionable advice centered around four themes as workers get back in the game and employers adjust to evolving needs and expectations—recreation of jobs, reemployment, reskilling & upskilling, and retaining talent.
