Dunn County neighbors committee reviews hiring, agency staffing and recruitment efforts
Summary
HR reported modest direct hires in February, ongoing agency staffing, and plans to attend high school job fairs; committee discussed agency costs and occasional agency staff conversions to county employees.
Chris, the committee’s employment representative, presented the February employment activity report, saying the facility conducted five direct-hire interviews, offered five positions and had four acceptances.
Chris reported two part-time CNAs resigned for “personal reasons” and confirmed the facility conducts exit interviews; he declined to disclose personal details. He also reported no lost work-comp hours in February and four missed shifts due to COVID-19 positives.
Supervisor Storey and others raised job-fair outreach. Chris said the county has attended Menominee High School job fairs and credit those events for some hires; he said job fairs are typically held in late spring timed to graduation.
On agency staffing, the committee heard the facility uses two staffing agencies. Carmen said agency use has stabilized: “We have 1 that we get the majority of them from, and then we have a second 1 that we get a few people from.” She described recent negotiation that reduced one agency’s rate and said two long-term agency staffors recently converted to county employees after their agency waived contractual buyout requirements.
Committee members discussed recruitment options, including high-school co-op students and internal job open-house events. No formal motions were taken on recruitment strategy during the discussion.
