Summary

Attracting 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.

Hiring 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.

Retaining 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).

Having 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.
