Session 202: Hire, Develop, Promote, Repeat: Develop a Recruiting Pipeline

Wednesday, August 5 at 11:30 AM

Staff turnover is a fact of life for all support teams, but turnover isn't a bad thing when the staff stay within your organization. At Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab, we found if you embrace it, encourage it, and promote it, staff turnover can be an employee and business advantage. We have produced a highly respected recruiting pipeline for the organization that has positively impacted team morale and performance.

During this informative, interactive, and entertaining session, Darryl Jacoby will share JHUAPL's approach to:
• Finding staff who are "right" for the organization
• Building trust and learning their career interest and desires
• Finding and providing them with meaningful opportunities beyond their normal job duties
• Providing them with advice on managing their career
