As companies continue struggling to fill open jobs and retain valued employees, Workforce Southwest Washington (WSW), the nonprofit local workforce development board for Clark, Cowlitz and Wahkiakum counties, is sponsoring a workshop series to help companies create a recruitment and retention action plan for their organization. WSW has engaged the human resources experts at Salsbury & Co. to lead the four-part workshop series that can give companies the knowledge and tools to overcome their employee recruitment and retention challenges.
Companies will learn how to:
- Reach a larger pool of qualified, diverse candidates.
- Recruit and onboard new employees to set them up for success.
- Improve organizational operations, employee engagement and satisfaction.
Sessions will take place 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on April 11, 18, 25 and May 2 at Workforce Southwest Washington, 805 Broadway Street, Suite 412, Vancouver, WA 98660.
Registration is required at buff.ly/3x5oTUp and is $100 for nonprofits and $150 for for-profit organizations. Space is limited to two participants per organization, ideally staff from human resources and/or executive leadership. Registration includes lunch each session and a workbook of structured worksheets, examples, and a resource toolkit that helps reinforce the concepts discussed during each training session. At the end of the series, participants will walk away with a recruitment and retention action plan for their company.
