This month CCCA presents Angie Criner.

Staffing During COVID—Assessing your needs and implementing strategies for the future

How have you shifted staffing needs during the pandemic? How can you support your current staff through these difficult transitions? When the time comes, what processes and decision-making timelines should you have in place to recruit and hire in light of COVID? Join HR thought leader Angie Criner as she presents several ideas to help your ministry as you adjust staffing needs and look to hire quality teammates—now or in the days ahead. Plan to attend this webinar to learn more about staffing options, effective strategies and how to assess your needs to support your ministry operations and growth in the future.
