Selection, Hiring and On-Boarding 

Catholic school leaders at all levels know that acquiring and orienting the best professionals and support staff is still the heart and soul of your transforming Catholic mission.  With Workforce Excellence practices, people become your major asset, and your “primary vehicle” for achieving your mission of excellence.  “Best fit” candidates are not likely choosing to interview or join your school community because of money or material benefits.  Knowing what attracted and retains the best of your current faculty, staff and leaders is the foundation for designing processes that will attract and retain more “best fit” candidates.  Continuous improvement processes (see “CRI” below) allow refinement of those processes to attract and retain progressively better personnel.  Experience with non-profit social service organizations and Catholic schools indicate that, in most cases, more money is not needed to attract and retain progressively better personnel.  What is needed, however, is systematic, reliable processes in your school community that consistently produce more of “the value” that will attract and retain all the “best fit” people you need to advance your Catholic school mission.  Partners in Mission can help you design and implement those critical strategic processes to attract, hire and retain the best new members for your school community.
