Orange RPU 2023 Biennial Modification to PY 2021-24 Regional Plan <br /> <br />30 <br /> <br />• Restructuring work environments to improve recruitment, hiring, training, <br />compensation, and retention strategies. <br />• Integrating two or more of these strategies in a multifaceted approach <br /> <br />C. Strategies to Communicate with Regional Employers <br /> <br />Most business contacts are made at the local level by the WDBs and the AJCCs. <br />However, when the boards work with the same businesses across their jurisdictions, they <br />make every effort to collaborate and coordinate messaging and service delivery. Such <br />efforts have been common in rapid response, layoff aversion activities, and businesses <br />establishing new operations in one or more Orange County communities. <br /> <br />To promote coordinated and cohesive messaging, the local boards have collaborated on <br />developing a brand, Orange Workforce Alliance (OWA), to represent the RPU and <br />regional interests and initiatives, including messaging to businesses and industry. A <br />regional website (https://orangeworkforcealliance.com) provides an overview of services <br />available from any of the three local boards and their partners for business customers, <br />including human resources support, training and skills upgrading, labor market <br />information, layoff assistance, outplacement assistance, and financial services. Launched <br />in 2023, the OWA brand, its website, and collateral materials represent an effective <br />strategy for communicating with employers throughout the region. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />EXHIBIT 1
