The people are the greatest asset of any organization. The people’s effort, expertise, and intellectual contributions are key to the organization’s success. Since people are critical to the outcome, it is a significant responsibility for leaders to effectively recruit, on-board, train, and retain the right people for their organization. This presentation will focus on our approach to recruiting, onboarding, and training new staff. We will discuss our method of developing the job description, seeking candidates, and evaluating candidates. Once the right candidate is chosen, we will then discuss our process for bringing them up to speed as new employees, and on-going training to further develop and retain them.

As an attendee, you will learn more about:

  • Creating the new position
  • Identifying the right candidate
