E77: Turning Uncertainty into Opportunity: Employer Solutions from the Front Lines

Описание: In this episode of The Hub Podcast, host Jonathan Overall sits down with Fahim Karim, Manager of Business Services at Employ Prince George’s, during the Maryland Workforce Association Raising the Bar Conference. Recorded on site, the conversation explores how business services teams can better support employers and job seekers during periods of change and uncertainty.

Fahim shares his professional journey from global corporate leadership and management consulting into workforce development, including how a layoff reshaped his career focus. Drawing on decades of experience in process improvement, change management, and people engagement, Fahim explains his consultative approach to working with employers. The discussion highlights the importance of listening first, understanding business pain points, and leveraging strong partner networks to deliver practical solutions.
