Frontline Focused: Building Thriving and Equitable Workplaces Webinar Series
This Spring, CareerSTAT launches a new webinar series, Frontline Focused: Building Thriving and Equitable Workplaces to help CareerSTAT members address two intersecting problems. First, in the wake of the pandemic and related economic shifts, many healthcare providers are constantly struggling with short-staffing and high turnover. Second, even as the sector grows more diverse, that diversity is mostly reflected in low-paying, high-stress frontline roles. And while there are numerous opportunities for advancement within healthcare, there is consistent underrepresentation of BIPOC, immigrants and refugees, and women in mid-level and executive roles.
To address both systemic exclusion and consistent recruitment and retention challenges in the healthcare industry, we must open our minds & organizations to new ways of doing business. Frontline Focused will explore practices to remove barriers for underserviced populations, including strategies to engage immigrant and refugee workers and discuss tactics for combatting gender-based violence.
The series will offer webinars through June 2023 and will include content specific to immigrant and refugee workers, job quality frameworks, human-centered design principles, and trauma-informed practices. Each session will have an hour of content delivery followed by an optional 30-minute session for peer learning among healthcare colleagues.
Resource Center
CareerSTAT offers a range of resources on investing in frontline workers, understanding the healthcare workforce, and measuring the return on training investments. These resources are intended to support all types of healthcare organizations in starting, scaling or sustaining investments in their frontline employees.
CareerSTAT’s Guide to Investing in Frontline Healthcare Workers offers healthcare organizations evidence-based best practices, business metrics, and an integrated process for implementing and measuring training programs. The Guide consists of six separate, but complimentary, resources detailing various steps in the development process.
CareerSTAT Frontline Healthcare Worker Champions
The CareerSTAT Frontline Healthcare Worker Champion program recognizes organizations making significant investments in their frontline workers. Being selected as a Frontline Healthcare Worker Champion gives employers national recognition for their workforce development strategies. Organizations that meet all of the peer-defined criteria are recognized as Champions. Emerging Champion designation is awarded to organizations that meet some, but not all of the criteria.
CareerSTAT Healthcare Workforce Development Academy
The Healthcare Workforce Development Academy presents a unique and innovative opportunity for healthcare organizations to receive technical assistance (TA) to implement and sustain business practices and policies that support frontline worker skill development and career advancement. Through the Academy, participants will accelerate the adoption of evidence-based business practices and policies to build competitive advantage and provide more frontline workers with equitable access to the skills, training, and credentials to advance their careers to family-sustaining wages.
