Provide competitive total rewards

In a competitive market for teachers, a strong recruitment and retention plan must include an effective total reward package to enhance success. Total rewards is an investment that enhances employee engagement and productivity, addresses employee wellness, and provides tangible incentives for our educators and support staff. Highly-valued rewards can become a competitive differentiator that make Hamilton County Schools stand out from other districts in attracting top talent to our district.

Action Steps:

• Maintain competitive total compensation packages.
• Assess benefit plans and wellness programs to ensure competitiveness and a focus on affordability, appropriate utilization, access to care, and reduction of administrative costs.
• Develop a comprehensive communication plan that highlights the full value of HCDE benefits to both present and potential employees.
• Design and manage programs that focus on wellness and overall health awareness.
