When a higher level employment opportunity opens up at Sheltering Arms, we recruit first from within the organization. Employees will feel more engaged when they can grow and learn new skills. Retained employees will have the experience they’ve gained by learning new skills and could then have opportunities to apply for openings within the company when other employees leave. When employees shift into new roles or departments, they gain a wider understanding of how individual parts of the business can be better aligned for the overall organization’s goals.
