Recruit, Engage, and Retain Leaders

An organization or workplace is only as good as the leaders/employees involved. This session will explore the keys to finding the 'right' leaders/employees, engaging them in the mission and work, and ultimately keeping them so that there isn't the constant challenge of leader/employee turnover. Hands & Voices has experienced both turnover and many leaders who have been a part of the organization for a long time. What is the reason for the turnover and what is the secret to successful retention of leaders? This session will offer an interactive opportunity to identify and explore common challenges, share wisdom, receive information from a survey, and share resources that would ultimately impact an organizations ability to engage and retain quality leaders/employees.

  • Participant will be able to identify key strategies in recruiting the right leader/employee from the beginning.
  • Participant will be able list recruitment, engagement, and retention resources provided by the presenter.
  • Participant will be able to identify key elements of Hands & Voices success in retaining leadership from survey information provided by the presenter.
