Hiring OST Staff
Doing A Lot With A Little
Abstract
Proper staff recruitment and retention is a vital part of building a strong OST program infrastructure. Because staff turnover is often high, many OST programs are overwhelmed with the capacity to properly hire staff that encompasses the mission and vision of their OST programs. Many programs are then left with the question: “How can OST programs get the most from their staff with a limited budget, and a limited capacity to properly develop their staff?” This article will detail how two programs in the OST network funded by the City of Philadelphia Department of Human Services (DHS) utilize similar philosophical approaches and methods for staff recruitment and retention. Below, we not only detail how these OST programs implement some of these staff recruitment and retention strategies, but how they reflect best practices as well.
