00:00:00 --> 00:00:05 Welcome to your Morning Boost, your daily leadership advice to help you lead your school community.
00:00:05 --> 00:00:09 Brought to you by AWB Education and sponsored by Grundmeyer Leader Services,
00:00:10 --> 00:00:14 where together we are transforming education, one leader at a time.
00:00:14 --> 00:00:18 Now here's your host, Adam Bush. Good morning. Happy Wednesday.
00:00:19 --> 00:00:23 Happy wonderfully insightful Wednesday to you Morning Boost listeners.
00:00:23 --> 00:00:27 Today, we're going to shift the focus on this HR week to the vital practice
00:00:27 --> 00:00:30 of continuous improvement within our HR functions.
00:00:30 --> 00:00:35 And we're going to talk today specifically about gathering valuable input on
00:00:35 --> 00:00:36 our current hiring processes.
00:00:40 --> 00:00:44 Now, our existing employees, particularly those that have been recently onboarded,
00:00:44 --> 00:00:47 and maybe even candidates who weren't ultimately hired,
00:00:47 --> 00:00:52 these people can offer invaluable perspectives on what aspects of our recruitment
00:00:52 --> 00:00:57 journey are working effectively and which areas we could benefit from a little refinement.
00:00:58 --> 00:01:02 Consider thinking about implementing a variety of methods to collect this feedback.
00:01:02 --> 00:01:06 Maybe we do some anonymous surveys that allow for very candid responses.
00:01:07 --> 00:01:12 We could facilitate focus group discussions to explore common themes or even
00:01:12 --> 00:01:16 informal one-on-one conversations to gather individual experiences.
00:01:16 --> 00:01:21 Ask targeted questions about the clarity and accuracy of the job descriptions.
00:01:21 --> 00:01:26 Also, talk about the efficiency and user-friendliness of the application process.
00:01:26 --> 00:01:31 Another good topic would be the relevance and effectiveness of the interview questions and formats.
00:01:31 --> 00:01:35 Did their overall experience during the onboarding phase meet their expectations?
00:01:36 --> 00:01:40 By proactively seeking out and attractively listening to this feedback from
00:01:40 --> 00:01:43 our various stakeholders, we can identify some potential bottlenecks.
00:01:43 --> 00:01:48 We can also uncover some unconscious biases that may be present in our process.
00:01:48 --> 00:01:52 This is also going to help us identify some specific areas where we can enhance
00:01:52 --> 00:01:56 our processes, which will ultimately attract, assess, and in the end,
00:01:57 --> 00:02:00 retain even higher caliber talent to our system.
00:02:00 --> 00:02:04 As the esteemed author and management consultant Ken Blanchard wisely put it,
00:02:05 --> 00:02:07 feedback is the breakfast of champions.
00:02:07 --> 00:02:11 We want to embrace this opportunity to learn from the experiences of others
00:02:11 --> 00:02:16 and strategically utilize that knowledge to continuously refine our hiring strategy.
00:02:16 --> 00:02:20 This will lead to sustained success and a stronger workforce.
00:02:24 --> 00:02:28 That's your Morning Boost for Wednesday. Have a great midweek.
00:02:28 --> 00:02:31 Think about your processes. It's going to be worth your time to do so.
00:02:31 --> 00:02:35 In the end, we want to make sure we get the right talent and keep your reputation
00:02:35 --> 00:02:38 strong so that right talent wants to come to you.
