How to turn back-to-school into winning employees back
As school starts across the country, there is a pool of available talent that may be looking for a “right fit” job, including employees that left your organization to stay home with children who now may be headed to school. Here are some thoughts on how you can fill some of your gaps with this amazing talent.
Do you have:
Needs during the school day that would allow employees to continue to do school drop-offs and pick-ups ? Or, do you need a lunch relief person where an employee could work a 10 – 2 shift during your peak hours.
Functions that can be done at home that allow employees to work around their child-care responsibilities?
Project or assignment work that can be done during school hours at home or in person?
If you do, try posting your opportunities where these types of caregivers might be and see if you don’t find some amazing talent to fill critical needs within your organization!
If you can be flexible and work around their needs to be there for their children, I can tell you from personal experience, they will work hard and be loyal to the organization or leader that made it work.
