Unanswered emails. Requests (demands) for time-off. Over-involved parents. What’s the matter with young people today? Most likely nothing! We have more in common with this cohort of staff than one might think; their needs are just expressed differently. We have an opportunity to communicate that we are in touch with the times and yet have a handle on timeless wisdom. Recruit staff for next summer (and beyond) by demonstrating that we understand the perspectives of those we hope to hire without compromising important vision, values, and views. Ideas gathered from several Think-Tank sessions at regional ACA events will be shared.
LEARNER OUTCOMES:
By the end of the webinar, participants will:
- Recognize globally and individually the view on leadership and communication styles (and often barriers) to connecting with and hiring staff today
- Compare needs of today’s staff with our own needs to see they are similar but just expressed differently
- Formulate concrete “to do” ideas and strategies to successfully recruit staff for next summer and beyond
