Director of Public Safety Village of Palmyra, WI Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, United States
Your workplace is an ISLAND, and how you populate it and keep it populated matters. Is your ISLAND a tropical paradise or a desert wasteland?
“It's Your ISLAND” teaches participants to select great employees who will succeed in their agency and retain these excellent employees as an organization valuing inclusion, safety (civility), laughs, authentic accountability (just culture), nourishment (wellness), and direction.
The agency where this is implemented has seen significant improvements in employee performance and retention. This agency has been featured in Police Chief (July 2020), Police1.com, and won a 2020 Wisconsin Policy Forum award. “It's Your ISLAND” is taught as the recruitment and retention module in Wisconsin Department of Justice New Police Chiefs training and in their Wednesday Wellness Series.
