Thank you for your interest in the TPP Supporting and Retaining Staff Peer Learning Group (PLG) from January through May 2025.
Overview
This five-session PLG will support participants in developing an open, responsive, and supportive work environment, with the broader aim of increasing retention of qualified staff.
This PLG will be facilitated by organizational development consultant Dr. Julie Rennecker of Syzygy Teams and RHNTC staff. Sessions will align with the Staff Support and Retention Toolkit, be interactive, and offer participants the opportunity to share and learn from their peers.
Objectives

- Identify and use RHNTC resources that promote supporting and retaining staff
- Apply lessons learned from peers that have effectively supported and retained staff
- Develop and implement a program-specific action plan to support and retain staff
