Across the nation, there are multiple job openings for every applicant, in both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. Chaffee County is feeling the squeeze; given the number of help wanted postings, reduced operating hours and upward pressure on wages, our local economy is being starved of its potential.

As an employer, how can you best compete? It’s not just about wages anymore. Employees want to be valued and make best use of their skills. Effective recruiting and employee retention skills may be the edge that allows your organization to surge forward — or fall behind.
