This is the archived resource for the April 2019 phPIN webinar.
Join the Public Health Performance Improvement Network (phPIN) for our April webinar with Beth Ransopher, RS, MEP, the Management Analyst II/Workforce Development Manager with the Office of Workforce Development at Columbus Public Health.
Hiring and training health department staff can be a daunting effort. Effective employee training is an essential step to an organization’s success and the retention of all employees. This is even more important when orienting new employees. New staff need to receive quality training to carry out responsibilities and build a firm foundation to ensure a successful work experience with the organization. Quality improvement principles can be powerful guiding steps in developing and improving workforce development programing, including new employee orientation. In this webinar, we will explore a local health department’s journey in improving and implementing a new employee orientation program that involves all levels of the department. Elements of the program that were developed will be shared including training plans, resources, checklists, and training modules. Finally, we will learn how these efforts helped the organization successfully maintain PHAB accreditation.
