Corrections Staffing Initiative: National Focus Groups and Curriculum Development
Currently, corrections agencies across the country are facing a staffing crisis.
The last few years of managing the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has required correctional directors of training and directors of human resources to adapt to new methods and techniques to hire, train, and retain staff.
“The Great Resignation” represents the mass exodus of the working population that occurred during the pandemic, where a record number of people voluntarily quit their jobs due to high levels of stress and other factors.
The corrections field, partly affected by this phenomenon, continues to transform to adapt to this and other evolving trends in populations and management priorities that continuously affect the workforce.
Correctional directors of training and directors of human resources represent the agency response to and success in recruitment, hiring, and training.
Departments of both training and human resources continually seek to improve the effectiveness of their agency through professional, collaborative, and mission-driven experiences.
Training and human resources staff are key decision makers in corrections.
The effect of their decisions can be deep and far reaching.
Never before has the need for them to address emerging issues and persistent problems been so essential.
Nationally, in a post-COVID-19 era, staff vacancy rates are at an all-time high.
