Sunday Pre-Conference - APCO Staffing & Retention

In 2009, the Next Generation of APCO Project RETAINS announced that research had proven turnover rates for Comm Centers int he US were at 19%. That was an increase of 3% since 2005 and still reflected a higher turnover rate than the teaching and nursing industries - both highly publicized staffing crises.

It is common knowledge that the public safety communications industry has suffered from an inability to effectively recruit and maintain employees. This in turn has required Comm Centers across the country to invest millions of dollars in a vicious cycle of continuous recruitment, training new hires and overtime that merely addresses the symptoms of this issue and not the core problem.

Topics include:

Designed to provide guidance and information to Comm Center employees at every level, this course provides over 300 tips, guidelines and effective practices on subjects ranging from creating effective shift schedules to candidate recruitment and from maintaining staff to employee recognition.
