About the Course
The success of any organization is dependent upon the quality of personnel it
is able to attract and retain. Agencies must recruit individuals who meet the
department’s standards and ‘fit’ within the organizational culture. Agencies
must also work to maintain a high retention environment based on a positive
culture, empowering employees, continuous self-improvement, and supervisor
development. This course provides a comprehensive approach for identifying
employees who fit with the agency and how to attract them as well as providing
leaders with advice on how to protect their investment by limiting those factors
that cause increased levels of attrition.
