Taming Turnover
Keeping staff skilled and competitive
According to a 2007 study from the Center for Labor and Community, companies and jobs can be saved if there are timely, well-informed, and creative actions taken by unions, local government, the business community, community residents, and others who are real stakeholders in the success or failure of these companies.
At PeninsulaWorks, we take our responsibility to ‘take creative action’ very seriously. We are committed to helping your business or company with layoff aversion strategies. We offer training for individuals who are unemployed as well as the incumbent worker, to support the training needs of businesses and employers in San Mateo County.
