A science centre is only as good as the people working there. This session will present ways to attract the best people, to train them, to keep them engaged and motivated, to offer them opportunities to grow and incentives to make them feel part of all activities in the science centre. The session will not only focus on front-of-house staff but also on all possible jobs in a science centre, from workshop staff to project managers, from designers to marketing experts. Examples from three science centres will be given, each with a different background or history. Topics will cover finding the right person for the job, developing the competencies of new and existing staff, and dealing with changes in organizational structure or expansions.
