Re: Inclusion in FIRST
Something that our team does for our "recruiting" is we advertise when we are meeting. Then when the season starts, we will give jobs to people that are there, but arent doing anything at the time. The experienced people turn into managers, but the non-experienced do the "grunt work" of measuring the correct distance, and drilling holes, making the cut, etc. We will include everyone that is in our shop, starting with the people that are the closest, and as the leaders find things that they are doing that could be completed by less experienced, we hand them out. It gets everyone involved, and helps to get the jobs done faster. This work basis of if you come you are helpful helps us to retain many people that would be shy or unincluded elsewhere, and as a result, our team is a collaboration of many people that in almost any other place, would be a clash of personalities.
I feel that our organization really helps with how to mesh people that come from different backgrounds, are of opposite genders, have contrasting ideals, etc.
