Guest Blog: This Adoption Recruiter says, “You Gotta Believe!”

I’ve been working to find adoptive homes for children in foster care for 30 years. After 18 years working at a nonprofit, that I founded, called “You Gotta Believe!” which focuses on finding permanent families for youth on the verge of aging out, I moved on to become a Wendy’s Wonderful Kids (WWK) recruiter. It was a job I knew well as I worked with these men and women for 18 years before deciding that I too should be a recruiter.

Recruitment and Retention: It’s About More Than Your Bottom-Line

“I don’t like my job.” That's how many employees may feel according to a Gallup survey that states less than one-third (31.5%) of U.S. workers were engaged in their jobs in 2014. Gallup defines engaged employees as those who are involved in, enthusiastic about and committed to their work and workplace. It’s easy to say that the average employee has felt apathy about his job at one time or another. Personally I don’t believe that I fall within the 68.5% of un-engaged workers.
