Changing organizational culture is challenging. It is especially challenging when facing staff burnout, retention issues, and decreased hiring. Even in these unprecedented times, the largest obstacle to overcome is our mindset. Becoming an organization that values employee development and engagement over “getting the job done” takes time. By following best practices and seeking employee participation, all these changes are possible! This shift in thinking resulted in a robust mentoring program that focuses on the unique needs of our staff and organization. During this presentation, senior leaders from the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office will provide an overview of the methodology followed to develop, implement, and evaluate this multifaceted program.
