Great leadership skills don’t just show up with a job title. A talented employee that has been promoted to a team lead, supervisor, or manager position deserves to be given the proper tools for success in their new leadership role. START involves the understanding of SwOt Analysis, Training, Action, Reinforcement, and Trust. Avoid setting your leadership team up for failure and offer meaningful training opportunities as an investment tool for them and for your business.
This presentation covers staffing strategies from the start to the finish 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 that. We will also review compliance practices during the whole life of the process in order to decrease perceptions of discrimination and potential litigation results. Items covered will span the time from recruiting, selection, onboarding, training, employee development, retention efforts, and finally to resignation or termination.
