SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/22/25 - Culture = Success: The Secret to Building a Positive Workplace Culture in Animal Welfare - NACA/Justice Clearinghouse
DESCRIPTION:The animal welfare industry is understaffed and facing worker turnover\, like employers around the country. The effects are dire: animal shelter workers are burned out\, and animals’ lives are at risk. But in the face of these challenges\, Pasco County Animal Services (PCAS) in Florida has zero vacant positions and hasn’t had an opening in an entry-level position in over 14 months. PCAS Assistant Director Spencer Conover attributes this success to a positive workplace culture built through inspiration\, leadership\, recognition\, equal pay\, and training. \nIn this webinar\, Spencer will discuss how PCAS created and sustains its positive workplace culture and how you can easily adapt these methods to help better retain team members and build a positive workplace culture of your own. \nThis webinar has been certified by the National Animal Care & Control Association and is approved for 1 Continuing Education Unit. Please refer to your NACA membership portal for current CEU submission process. Current NACA Members who attend the live presentation or watch the recording will be able to download a jointly issued attendance certificate that includes the National Animal Care & Control Association logo. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.justiceclearinghouse.com/webinar/culture-success-the-secret-to-building-a-positive-workplace-culture-in-animal-welfare/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 7/24/25 - Find your popsicle hotline: Creating the ultimate adopter experience - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:Shelters and rescues are overflowing while millions of new pet-loving households have emerged in the past year alone. So why aren’t they adopting? The truth is adoption is losing ground.

We’ll break down customer psychology\, challenge outdated strategies and introduce fresh\, experience-driven adoption models that make saying “yes” to a pet effortless and exciting. Using innovative examples from across industries\, like the simple “popsicle hotline” that gave Hollywood’s Magic Castle hotel an unheard-of boost in guest satisfaction and occupancy rates\, this session will prove that you don’t have to spend big in order achieve exemplary service and drive customer loyalty. \nIf you’re ready to attract more adopters\, boost live outcomes and turn your shelter into the go-to destination for pet lovers\, this is your call to action. Increasing adoptions and creating new families starts with creating an experience they can’t resist. \nWEBSITE LINK: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_BXObpKnVQg-et-86J-bwKg#/registration
