SUMMARY:Learning to Lead Series: Attracting & Retaining an All-Star Team
DESCRIPTION:Learning to Lead Series: Attracting & Retaining an All-Star Team – Proven Strategies that Work!\nWelcome to our LEARNING TO LEAD webinar series for early childhood directors\, assistant directors\, supervisors\, owners and aspiring leaders in our profession! This is a series for you! Our Learning to Lead sessions are all about supporting you on your journey as an inspiration leader\, wherever you are in your journey. \nAttracting and Retaining a high quality team is perhaps the biggest challenge facing childcare leaders\, not just in Alberta but across North America.  Recent studies show that it’s the inability to hire and retain quality staff that is preventing both private and not for profits centres to expand. \nHiring the right staff takes skill and planning. This includes knowing who you are looking for\, where to find them\, how to interview them and mutually determining whether your Centre is a fit for their skills and career aspirations. \nRetaining the right staff is an equally important part of the Human Resources equation.  This begins with understanding why your current team stay with you and what potential team additions are looking for in terms of a work environment and total compensation package (salary plus benefits). \nHaving a sound strategy for attracting and retaining staff not only keeps these HR costs manageable but more importantly enables you to deliver consistent\, quality care to children and their families. \n3 Part Webinar Included (only need to register once!): \n\nPart 1: Tuesday\, December 5 @ 1:00PM-2:00PM\nPart 2: Tuesday\, December 12 @ 1:00PM-2:00PM\nPart 3: Tuesday\, December 19 @ 1:00PM-2:00PM\n\nObjectives: \n\nEnact a proven HR  framework for attracting and retaining staff that works in the childcare field\nOutline the Key Steps in the Hiring Process\nOutline the Key Steps in the Retention Process\n\nThings to Keep in Mind: \n\nPD Funding eligible Level 3 educators.\nRegistration closes 24 hours in advance!\nFee includes all 3 sessions; only 1 registration required for all 3 sessions.\nThis workshop will be held online through the Zoom platform.\nYou will need access to a smartphone\, laptop\, tablet or computer with audio capabilities to join us.\nA link will be emailed to you 24 hours prior to the workshop. Please click the link 10 minutes before the workshop begins to join in.\nCertificate of participation will be available to registered participants.\nAll registered participants will have 30 days access to the webinar recording.\nE-transfers to be sent to tina@inspiredmindsecc.ca\n\nZoom link is included in your ticket email.
