RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION

SCARCE RESOURCES:

RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION

The Department of Labor estimates that there will be a shortage of 10 million workers over the next decade. Companies are competing for employees to the extent that recruitment and retention has become the primary directive of most organizations. Scarce Resources is our theatre-based training program that examines the evolving landscape of America's workforce, provides cutting-edge strategies to tap hidden pools of employees, and how to hold on to the talent you have. Human Resource professionals will find this program indispensable in their effort to reach their R&R goals. Front-line supervisors and managers should also attend this program because they are the company's primary contact with employees and play a key role in retaining them. We strongly suggest that companies interested in bringing this program onsite purchase the workshop we have developed to amplify this subject. Please contact our office for details.

Scenes Included in the Program:

WORKFORCE BLUES
This blues parody has the singer lamenting over the dismal outlook of finding employable people to fit his companies needs.

MANDATORY FISHING
A "Vet" lays out his situation. He feels as though he has been marked for extinction too soon. He reminds us that he has a lot to contribute, if we would only take him seriously.

NOT PAS-GHETTI
This "Boomer" explains how being a single-parent has inhibited her climb up the ladder. She "wants it all," and is frustrated that she cannot achieve her goals.

SURVIVOR
A "GenXer" dictates what he needs in order to function well within the organization. This is not a wish list, but rather a set of demands he expects to be met or else…

I'VE GOT TO GO
A young, "Nexter" discusses her concern of ethical issues. Having come to age in the context of political scandal and private sector misconduct, we see how important ethics are to this youngest group of employees.

ASK OR TELL
A workgroup comprised of members hailing from all four generations is depicted. We see how intergenerational conflict impedes the effectiveness of the team, bringing it to a grinding halt.

BREAKING THE CHAIN
Mainstream America has developed stereotypes about welfare recipients, thinking that they are on welfare because they want to be there. This scene illustrates the reality that most recipients get assistance because economics has funneled them in that direction. Given an opportunity that makes economic sense, recipients are eager to become participants.

THIS IS REAL
A former welfare recipient recounts her journey from assistance to gainful employment. This uplifting scene reminds us that dreams do not have to be dreams. They can be real.

ADVANCEMENT
This uplifting scene reveals that WtW participant's retention rates are equal to, or surpass industry standards. But what about the next step? Are WtW participants capable of advancement? This scene closes the show with a resounding, "YES!"
