In the season 2 premiere of the Net Assets Podcast, Jerry Walker, associate head of school for finance and operations at Kent Denver School, shares his school’s strategies for retaining staff talent with podcast host NBOA President and CEO Jeff Shields. A transparent staff compensation system and meaningful raises have fostered staff satisfaction and long-term commitment.
Kent Denver had developed a transparent salary system for faculty 10 years prior and was inspired to do the same for staff as pandemic era inflation crescendoed and employment options opened up for hourly workers. The efforts have resulted in 100% retention of food service workers, who are active within the school community. Staff in each department now understand what room they have to grow professionally and what is required to advance. See Kent Denver's salary system below.
