Theme 3- Committed and Proud Team
Committed and Proud Team is the third of four themes that emerged from the strategic planning process. The desire to provide a positive work experience for staff and to improve staff recruitment and retention was evident in the discussions. Reduced turnover for administrative positions was a target identified for improvement. While some turnover is inevitable, it can result in the loss of corporate knowledge and add additional workload on those remaining while new staff are recruited and trained. Turnover can also be expensive and can result in lowered morale, if not stabilized. Enhancing the NWC work environment through focused initiatives will help translate to greater job satisfaction. A positive work experience will assist in attracting new applicants, and lead to an increase in number of qualified applicants.
