Session Description: Workforce development, retention, and recruitment are strategic issues in healthcare.

Panelists will discuss real world examples of how boards have included innovative opportunities related to recruitment and retention during health center strategy, budgeting, and policy planning efforts. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss strategies their boards might be supporting at the governance-level to improve the satisfaction, engagement, and wellbeing of the workforce.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe the role of the Board in shaping workforce strategies.
  • Name at least one innovation applicable to strengthening your health center workforce strategies.
  • Discuss innovative workforce strategies with another health center colleague.
