AWC wants to hear your city’s success stories when it comes to recruitment and retention

Nearly every city in the state is experiencing challenges with recruitment and retention in the current job market. Low unemployment means there are fewer job seekers out looking for work, and other potential workers have left the workforce altogether for a host of reasons.

AWC knows that cities are creative in finding ways to serve their residents, in addition to just being great places to work. We want to hear from you about some of the recruiting and retention challenges you’ve faced and the ways that your city is addressing them. We’d like to collect some of your city’s recruitment and retention success stories to share with other cities across the state.

AWC is also working on content for the upcoming 2023 Labor Relation Institute in May related to local government recruitment and retention issues, and we’d love for our city HR staff to be a part of it.

Please let us know your city’s recruitment and retention success stories and if you’d like to learn more about participating in recruitment/retention related content for LRI. You can send your thoughts to mattd@awcnet.org.
