In this competitive world, finding and keeping great staff is challenging, especially when trying to maintain a successful Christian Foster Care and Adoption agency.
You know your dedicated team works tirelessly for every child and family. Your work changes lives.
How can you make these meaningful efforts clear to prospective and current team members? Discover 4 key ways to set apart your agency from others.
Lead with purpose: Showcase your faith-centered mission. Many professionals are drawn to organizations aligned with their own beliefs and values. In Matthew 18, Jesus was very clear about his love for children and how they were to be treated and welcomed.
Share the stories: Focus on the positive changes your agency creates for children and families. Real stories of transformation inspire passion. To attract passionate professionals, focus on what truly matters—the long-term impact their work has on kids and families.
Focus on growth: Highlight the professional development, mentorship, and growth opportunities within your agency. Show them they’ll not only make an impact—but evolve in their own careers, too. A happy team, motivated and satisfied, reflects positively on your agency and its ability to serve families and children.
Recognize milestones and achievements: When new staff join your team, plan a get-to-know-you lunch with the team. Breaking bread together brings comradery and builds relationships towards your common goal. Continue cultivating relationships through monthly or quarterly lunches, outings, or other fun activities.
Most importantly, consistently seek God’s provision for great team members. Pray and ask…then listen. He will provide.
