Date & Time:
The Recruitment & Retention training will be held on the following date and time:

Februrary 28 | 2:00PM-4:00PM 

This training is being held in Pacific Time.

Description:
Your water operator, office staff or manager has just given their notice and they are moving on to another job. They have been there for years and know the system history, where all the (hidden) valves/meters are and developed relationships with all entities required to manage or operate a public water system. The powers that be (local government and/or management) may be wondering, “What could we have done to prevent this employee from seeking other employment?” and “How do we go about hiring someone to replace this valuable resource?” This workshop will utilize the trainer’s and participant’s experiences to explore these conundrums.

Participants will learn:

·        About advertising, interviewing, and hiring of water system mangers, office staff and operators

·        The resources available to assist with hiring good people

·        Steps to budget to acquire and retain competent staff

·        How to use staff evaluations to help with retention longevity

·        How to retain excellent staff (hint, it's not always about the money!)

The recommended audience includes management and local government board of directors. 

Location:
This training will be hosted online on GoToTraining.
