HR reports new 'stay' interviews, exit-survey results and $1.2M in substitute savings
Summary
District HR described new retention tools (stay interviews, first-year educator survey), exit-interview findings on reasons for leaving, and said bringing substitute employees in-house has saved approximately $1,200,000 this year.
Human Resources staff reported on new retention and staffing initiatives at the work session. The district has implemented 'stay' interviews for employees with two or more years of service and a first-year educator survey; HR said these efforts produced 197 responses that the district will use to improve onboarding, orientation and retention strategies.
HR also presented exit-interview data showing top reasons employees leave: relocation or career changes/promotions (~52%), health/family circumstances (~35%), and work environment (~13%). The administration said it has proactively sent exit surveys to departing employees rather than waiting for requests. Separately, district staff reported that bringing substitute and guest educators in-house has increased new hires and generated an estimated $1,200,000 in savings while allowing the district to provide training and a substitute manual.
