Recruitment & Retention

Finding and Keeping the Staff You Treasure

Finding and keeping staff requires separate but equally important strategies.

First, a stellar interview process and second, an orientation and onboarding process that addresses business and program needs as well as the social and emotional needs of new staff.

Once you’ve identified your candidate through our Early Learning Jobs FL job board, Shared Resources FL provides an amazing behavioral based, fully customizable interview guide to help you learn the most about your candidate and whether they will be a good fit for your program’s culture and philosophy. Couple this with a tool to showcase your benefits and compensation package and get ready to differentiate your program from all the others. Candidates have choices, too, and you can set your program apart using this beautifully designed and completely editable tool.

Now that your candidate has accepted the position, you’ll want to engage your team in delivering a stellar orientation and onboarding process that will really wow and delight your new staff member and keep them returning for work day after day.

A strong onboarding process can help you stand out from the crowd in the way you embrace and welcome a new employee into your program.  Onboarding is the big picture plan that addresses the training plan along with the social and emotional needs of the new employee.  Research suggests businesses can increase employee retention by extending onboarding through an employee’s entire first year.  Shared Resources FL has ready-made tools to assist you in planning and implementing strong practices that help ensure your new employee stays.

Last but not least, transitioning a new staff member into your program is your opportunity to set the expectation for excellence in your child care environment. Shared Resources FL provides an organized orientation process that evolves over a 90-day period with detailed step-by-step checklists, including multiple opportunities for one-to-one check ins, training tools, and more.

Get ready to put some sizzle in your orientation and onboarding with the tools on Shared Resources FL.
