Human service providers are struggling to hire and retain the staff they need to fulfill their missions. Service providers are challenged by staffing shortages, competition for talent with other industries, and the high costs of staff turnover. This training series will combine sessions focused on organizational workforce development and the power of the NIATx Change Leader Academy (CLA) to help providers better understand and improve staff hiring and retention.
Using the lenses of client-centered service delivery, workforce wellness, and coaching/mentoring, the initial training series will help you focus on the elements that impact your capacity to recruit, hire, retain, and promote the team that you need. This series will then be followed by a NIATx Change Leader Academy (CLA) designed to focus specifically on the recruit-hire-retain-promote continuum. The CLA will provide tools that will enable you to engage in data-driven changes that will improve your recruitment and hiring.
Learning Objectives:
Participants in the RHRP series will:
- Apply implementation science methods to improve RHRP practices and address organizational workforce challenges
