Abstract

This project was completed as part of a year-long partnership between the City of Rosemount and the University of Minnesota’s Resilient Communities Project (http://www.rcp.umn.edu). With an all-volunteer Fire Department, daytime staffing of fire responders—when most residents are at jobs outside of the community—has regularly posed a challenge for Rosemount. The goal of this project was to identify areas for growth in the recruitment and retention of firefighters available during work-week hours. In collaboration with city project lead Rick Schroeder, Fire Chief for the City of Rosemount, two teams of students in HRIR 6301: Staffing, Training, and Development conducted strategic assessments of the Department’s staffing needs, evaluated the available labor force in Rosemount, and drew upon best practices to make recommendations for strengthening recruitment and retention. A final report from the project is available.
