Employment 

 Village Employees
 
We strive to improve our culture with a skilled and talented workforce.  Our focus is to build an ultimate and diversified workforce.  Our mission is “not” to “hire” for the open position, but to “hire the right person” for the position.  In order to continue to provide gold star services, we need the best.
 
Our Core Values:  Customer Service → Trust → Integrity → Respect → Teamwork 
The village has adopted a comprehensive talent management program based on our core values. They are the heart and soul of how we operate.  We dedicate ourselves to these values with the goal of providing excellent services and programs to meet the needs of our community and those within the village.  They guide our actions and serve as the framework for the decisions and contributions we make every day, at every level.
 
Our Talent Management Plan:  5 Essential Elements 
  • Attract the right talent with the right competencies for the job.
  • Engage talent we already have with innovation and challenges. 
  • Build talent through assessment and development. 
  • Promote talent by giving the best performers the biggest opportunities. 
  • Retain talent by recognizing performance and contribution to the vision. 

 

Our Commitment To Professional Development 

  • SIPD:  Our vision is to build a culture of constant learning.  Our award winning SIPD (Schaumburg Institute of Professional Development) training program helps employees grow and reach their full potential.  This spirit of constant learning and being innovative and creative contributes to our employee’s personal success and is the backbone of our strategic competitiveness.
  •  
    Performance Management:  The success of the village depends on our employees – their capabilities, skills and engagement. We are committed to helping individuals develop to become more effective, recognize their potential, and maximize their contributions.  We encourage employees to be an active partner in annual performance discussions, employee self reviews, and 360 degree reviews.  We challenge individuals to take responsibility for their development by setting measurable and obtainable goals aligned with the overall village mission.  We promote career planning by asking our employees to openly communicate their career goals and positions desired.  Our legacy has been our ability to continue to develop great leadership through continuous feedback and mentoring.
  • Succession Planning:  We believe in a good balance of both external and internal leadership development.  We are aggressive and proactive in identifying employees who have the potential to grow and assume key positions. Developing the next generation of leaders is critical to our success.
