• Enterprise-wide value proposition

Maximizing the Mission
• 2007-2008-2009 – Period of recession
– Many Goodwills, and other workforce development
agencies, experienced decreases in placement
• However - several Goodwills showed placement
increases during this timeframe
• We wanted to know:
– What were they doing differently to contribute to
growth?
– Is it replicable?
Maximizing the Mission
2010 survey of 23 Goodwills that saw double digit
percent growth in placement and hard numbers
over the previous three year period
What did we find? Two key factors:
• Strategic capacity development
• Social enterprise expansion and community resources
• Intentional business engagement
• Collaborator and solution approach
Business Engagement
Survey findings pointed to three key strategies:
• Deepen knowledge of business needs in local
areas
• Focus staff responsibilities on business
relationship development
• Go where businesses congregate
Deepen Local Business Knowledge
Each industry sector has its own jargon, skill
standards, expectations and needs.
• External data analysis
– Community needs assessment
– Labor market information analysis
• Economic development information
– Business permit filings
– First source/local hiring ordinances
– Local business journals
• Placement data analysis
– Repeat placements at specific employers – titles, skills,
churn
Focus Staff Responsibilities
Realignment of staff responsibilities with a greater
focus by employment services staff on employer
need.
• Position impact
– Job descriptions modified to include sales skills
– Shift from generalists to specialists with specific skills sets
• Sharpening staff competency
– Business/sales background
– Training – sales skills focused
• Approach impact
– Establish and reinforce business message
– Shared leads/relationships
– Brand representatives
Be Present to Business
To be recognized as a business solution,
businesses must be engaged in ways that are
meaningful to them.
• Go where business congregates
– After-hours events, networking groups
• Staff (not just senior leaders) need to engage
businesses on their turf
– Chambers of Commerce, business associations
• Create opportunities for business to congregate
