Course Outline
Everybody is facing a recruitment and retention crisis in early years.
There is no doubt that the early years sector is experiencing workforce supply pressures and this is a concern for most businesses.
This Information session and workshop is provided by Hempsall’s and encourages providers to rethink what they do. It will help providers to reframe what they can change and influence what they cannot. This will enable providers to focus on their spheres of influence and realistic actions.
The workshop will challenge the status quo and think about the difference between needs and wants.
This workshop follows a 10-point plan.
Points 1-5 start by looking at some of the foundations of leadership and management and how they directly affect recruitment and retention of staff. It looks at the research and what people are saying about the issues, but crucially unpicks it to find the hidden stories and the things that will really help with developing solutions – the things we can do.
Points 6-10 look at self-reflection on leadership and management styles (using an audit wheel format) and how these can be beneficial and detrimental to recruitment and retention, before we position the current issues and challenges in the context of 2022 and beyond. Then come the big final three: keeping hold of what we have (retention); remodelling (looking at how the setting could or should change to make things easier); and rethinking recruitment (with advertising as an example).
