Latornell Conservation Symposium Webinar
Training and Retaining: Opportunities and Challenges Facing the Conservation Sector
Tuesday, March 5, 2024, 10 a.m.
Conservation organizations are run by groups of dedicated professionals. However, some major issues facing the conservation field right now include staff retention and succession planning. For the long-term success of the organization and its employees, it is important to consider both how to support younger staff to develop their technical and interpersonal skills at the outset of their career, and to continue to support staff to grow their skills as they move into leadership roles. It is widely known that professional development can be key to employee satisfaction and retention, and while budgets are limited, managers need to identify and support opportunities for their staff, to the benefit of both the individuals and the organization. In this session, you will hear from staff from Conservation Ontario and Conservation Authorities who are involved in the professional development of conservation staff, who will offer their perspectives and examples on building individual and organizational capacity.
