Excellence

Page 2: Jobs Initiative

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but we rather have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Aristotle

Page 3: Jobs Initiative

Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

Vince Lombardi

Page 4: Jobs Initiative

By appreciation, we make excellence in others our own property.

Voltaire

Page 5: Jobs Initiative

Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

Philippians 4:8

History

Our beginning

The Central Florida Employment Council (CFEC) was developed two years later as an extension of our employment service, offering:

Out of the desire and need to further improve the services we extend to both job seekers and area employers, the Central Florida Jobs Initiative was formed.

Program Development

Page 12: Jobs Initiative

In outlining the purpose and defining the objectives of our initiative, we employed the STAR strategy: Assess the Situation Determine the Task Take Action Quantify the Results

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, the 2012 poverty guideline for the 48 contiguous states for a family/household of 4 is $23,050. In Metro Orlando, an astounding 30% of households make less than $25,000.

Assessing our own client database, we identified a large population of transitioning professionals who are unprepared, overwhelmed, and frustrated by the tedious and sometimes unpredictable job-search process.

Page 15: Jobs Initiative

We began to survey, listen, and assess our client concerns.

The feedback provided a better understanding of the personal and professional challenges that could hinder progress.

Survey Survey

Page 16: Jobs Initiative

We also researched and surveyed organizations to determine their employment needs and better understand the challenges they face with attracting and developing

talent.

Final Thoughts:Something to Consider

Page 29: Jobs Initiative

Several well-regarded studies have recently estimated the cost of losing an employee:

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM), estimates that it costs $3,500.00 to replace one $8.00 per hour employee when all costs — recruiting, interviewing, hiring, training, reduced productivity, et cetera, were considered. SHRM’s estimate is the lowest of 17 nationally respected companies who calculate this cost!

growth of Central Florida.
