ACU STAR2 Center Workforce Training & Technical Assistance Professional Development Series - Session 2 (2024). Resource Type: Archived Webinar. Description: Join ACU’s STAR² Center for an interactive session focused on supporting workforce well-being and developing an organizational culture of wellness. As rates of burnout, compassion fatigue, moral distress, and more continue to rise, it is imperative that health center leadership invest in and implement organizational changes that directly address the well-being needs of their workforce. Without a workforce, there is no health center, and without a healthy and engaged workforce, health centers will continue to lose mission-driven, highly skilled professionals. Turnover not only impacts a health center’s operations and the satisfaction of employees, but also the services it is able to provide patients and the community. This session will view well-being from four key areas of need: financial, emotional, physical, and communication. It will provide tools and actionable strategies health centers can use to improve staff well-being and build an organizational culture that is people-centered. Regardless of position or role, we all deserve to work in a safe and supportive environment that meets our needs and sees us as individuals. More Details...
