Optimizing the Auxiliary Workforce: Compliance, Culture & Sustainability

| Webinar

Register

Independent schools often overlook the strategic value of auxiliary programs in workforce planning. This webinar invites school leaders to rethink auxiliary staffing — across summer, afterschool, enrichment and other programs — as a lever for sustainability, compliance and culture-building. Explore how rethinking hiring, training and retention practices can reduce HR risks while advancing DEI and other strategic goals, professional growth, and staffing continuity. Through case studies, tools and peer frameworks, business and HR leaders will gain strategies to align auxiliary workforce planning with mission and compliance — while also tapping emerging talent and supporting innovative, entrepreneurial faculty and staff projects.

Learning Objectives:

Identify key compliance considerations in managing seasonal and part-time staff; explore how auxiliary programs can serve as internal talent pipelines; and learn strategies to align auxiliary hiring with long-term planning. Plus, gain practical tools for onboarding, evaluation and leadership development within auxiliary teams.
