6. Strategies and best practices for the recruitment, retention and employment of older workers in the construction industry (2011)
Authors: Construction Sector Council (CSC)
The Construction Sector Council (CSC) has forecasted that growth in the sector and the retirement of workers will put pressure on the labour force and affect the availability of workers over the long term. To meet demand for these highly skilled workers, the construction industry must maximize all available labour pools including youth, women, First Nations, immigrants, and older workers.
Based on construction industry best practices and the application of ideas and concepts from other industries, this workbook provides a series of practical tools for the retention of older workers in the construction industry.
These tools are grouped into four areas: recruitment, retention, transition to retirement support, and other strategies and best practices.

7. Working with Volunteers – 25 Ideas for Good Practice (2012)
Authors: Decoda Literacy Solutions
This guide offers quick tips for making volunteer work a positive experience for both the organization and the volunteer.
The tips are organized by topic, with sections that deal with planning, recruiting, selecting, training, supervision, evaluation, recognition, and retention. Each idea contains basic information, input from voices in the field, and resources for further information.
For example, under the topic of recruiting, one tip encourages organizers to familiarize themselves with what motivates volunteers. That tip includes advice from a veteran volunteer organizer, who notes that in retrospect, it would have been a good idea to take more time to observe, interact with, ask more questions, and get more input from potential volunteers. As well, the tip includes a list of books and websites that offer more information about what motivates some people to volunteer, and what prevents others from doing so.
