Staffing Strategies – Recruit, Interview, and Hire Successfully

This presentation covers staffing strategies from the start of a job vacancy to the beginning of an employee’s engagement with your company. Areas that will be reviewed include why it is important to invest time and effort from the very beginning of the recruitment process, and how to do so. We will also review compliance practices during the whole life of the process to help you decrease perceptions of discrimination and potential litigation results. Items covered will span the time from pre-recruiting, recruiting, interviewing, selection, job offers, pre-onboarding, and then the critical task of effective onboarding.

With the high cost of turnover and the minimal number of qualified applicants available, fine-tuning your staffing strategies and practices is a critical time saver, risk reduction, and successful experience.

With this resource-loaded, fast-paced, and relatable course, you will receive tools, tips, and techniques to use to successfully lead your team. By the conclusion of this training, you will have actionable items and tools to implement the learning objectives and achieve sustained success.

Attending this training will help you and your team grow professional skills and discover how to work towards continued success for yourself, your team, and your organization. It will help you to advance your current success, boost your chances to meet your future goals and aspirations and inspire others to follow your lead. Further, this course will help your team better understand company-wide expectations of individuals and teams to achieve desired results. When workplaces incorporate these cultural principles, the work environment becomes a place to look forward to coming into with enthusiasm.

If developing your skills isn’t prioritized by you or your organization, you risk individual, team, department, and organizational failure without everyone reaching their full potential.
