THE FUTURE IS NOW: ​Recruiting, Retaining, and Developing the 21st Century Jail Workforce

Picture
With funding from the U. S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the Center for Innovative Public Policies, Inc. (CIPP) has produced the publication:
  • The Future is Now: Recruiting, Retaining, and Developing the 21st Century Jail Workforce .
Primarily developed as a toolkit to help jails address workforce-related issues, this document can also be used to keep funding authorities, policy-makers, community groups, and other stakeholders informed about these critical issues. Preparation of The Future is Now was guided by a national advisory panel of sheriffs and jail administrators representing jails of varying size, location, and organizational structure throughout the country.

Highlights of contents in The Future is Now include:
  • Specific strategies, including action planning checklists, to help jail leaders improve recruitment efforts, employee retention and leadership development;
  • Discussion of strategic initiatives supported by findings from the landmark National Jail Workforce Survey—the first nationwide survey of both jail administrators and line staff to focus on workforce-related issues;
  • Generationally-relevant approaches that recognize expectations and motivational needs of the newer members of the jail workplace;
  • Application of relevant workforce data and information from across the country to the specific needs of sheriffs and jail administrators;
  • Pragmatic ideas and helpful hints from the field and the literature that can positively impact the jail workplace;
  • An annotated bibliography of workforce-related publications providing opportunities for further exploration of these issues.
