On Demand Video: On-Boarding and Retaining Staff in the Federal Government Training Workshop Best Practices and Lesson Learned

Overview of the Workshop:

Hiring federal employees was never an easy process, and so it was especially frustrating to both line managers and HR offices when a new hire might leave after just a year or two. In today’s budget environment, with hard or soft hiring freezes, and early outs and buyouts becoming ever more common, it is especially important that once a job offer has been accepted that the agency be able to retain the new hire for a reasonable period of time. With fewer people around to perform the agency’s mission, the mission can be jeopardized by even one ill-timed departure. This workshop explores best practices in onboarding and retaining federal employees, especially in a budget constrained environment.

Potomac Forum is pleased to offer this video to government employees who were unable to attend our Onboarding and Retaining Staff in the Federal Government Training Workshop on June 7, 2012 at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Washington, D.C. This "on demand" program is in support of the Administration’s goals to provide training to government employees via the web and other non-traditional methods to reduce travel costs. Please submit your comments on this program to Potomac Forum - info@PotomacForum.org.

Registration Fee: $295 for Government
