00:00:46.380 Specifically for our area, we focus a lot on 22 00:00:46.380 --> 00:00:47.510 direct care and treatment. 23 00:00:47.510 --> 00:00:49.860 Taking people directly, maybe things like 24 00:00:49.860 --> 00:00:52.180 Registered Nurses, or CNA's, 25 00:00:52.180 --> 00:00:54.770 even things like Security Counselors 26 00:00:54.770 --> 00:00:58.040 or Forensics Support Specialists down in Saint Peter. 27 00:00:58.040 --> 00:01:01.613 But even things like psychiatrists or behavior analyst. 28 00:01:02.610 --> 00:01:04.940 I take a really close look at what would be 29 00:01:04.940 --> 00:01:06.750 line:15% minimum qualifications for people 30 00:01:06.750 --> 00:01:08.790 line:15% and kind of match that up to resumes 31 00:01:08.790 --> 00:01:10.750 line:15% and to see if people fit the bill. 32 00:01:10.750 --> 00:01:12.370 line:15% So that really does come down 33 00:01:12.370 --> 00:01:14.560 line:15% to the bare bones right there. 34 00:01:14.560 --> 00:01:16.640 We of course are always looking into 35 00:01:16.640 --> 00:01:18.997 having a wide diverse environment. 36 00:01:18.997 --> 00:01:22.140 Lot of inclusion, people from all backgrounds 37 00:01:22.140 --> 00:01:25.360 because as Governor Wallace just said, one Minnesota. 38 00:01:25.360 --> 00:01:27.590 We're all there together. 39 00:01:27.590 --> 00:01:29.020 We need to have everybody from different 40 00:01:29.020 --> 00:01:31.230 backgrounds of life because there's people from different 41 00:01:31.230 --> 00:01:33.580 backgrounds of life that need to be taken care of as well. 42 00:01:33.580 --> 00:01:35.820 A lot of the places that we like to go in 43 00:01:35.820 --> 00:01:38.610 line:15% southern Minnesota, we'll stop by the workforce centers, 44 00:01:38.610 --> 00:01:40.590 line:15% we'll stop at all the colleges, community colleges 45 00:01:40.590 --> 00:01:43.150 line:15% in the area, maybe even some of the state universities. 46 00:01:43.150 --> 00:01:45.160 line:15% Minnesota State University Mankato. 47 00:01:45.160 --> 00:01:47.093 line:15% Gustavus is in my area as well. 48 00:01:47.093 --> 00:01:49.970 But even like the workforce center in Mankato, 49 00:01:49.970 --> 00:01:52.650 down to community colleges like South Central. 50 00:01:52.650 --> 00:01:55.150 So we'll go to a lot of places for 51 00:01:55.150 --> 00:01:57.100 picking up talent or different people. 52 00:01:57.100 --> 00:01:59.230 But again you never know where that next 53 00:01:59.230 --> 00:02:01.350 candidate will be. 54 00:02:01.350 --> 00:02:04.810 It is hard to see those employees again, 55 00:02:04.810 --> 00:02:06.180 maybe after we get them hired, 56 00:02:06.180 --> 00:02:07.220 but I do like to stay in touch 57 00:02:07.220 --> 00:02:09.070 and try and make sure that everything is going along. 58 00:02:09.070 --> 00:02:10.780 line:15% Especially if their on boarding process. 59 00:02:10.780 --> 00:02:12.790 line:15% Everyone knows starting a new job isn't easy, 60 00:02:12.790 --> 00:02:14.340 line:15% especially getting enrolled in benefits 61 00:02:14.340 --> 00:02:15.640 line:15% or other things going on. 62 00:02:15.640 --> 00:02:16.590 line:15% We want to make sure that everybody 63 00:02:16.590 --> 00:02:17.930 line:15% is covered in every realm. 64 00:02:17.930 --> 00:02:20.190 line:15% Even if it might not be my specific job 65 00:02:20.190 --> 00:02:22.413 I want to at least point them in the right direction.
