This course is not designed as a comprehensive course in organizational politics. Rather, it will serve as a primer for identifying key players within the environment and how to build successful relationships within each.
The success of any organization is dependent upon the quality of personnel it is able to attract and retain.

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.
