CareerSTAT Featured Best Practice
Senior Leadership Support and Sponsorship

Whether your organization already has a senior leader who understands the importance of investing in frontline workers or is cultivating one who doesn’t yet fully grasp the value, a senior-level champion is a key component of a winning workforce development strategy. When these decision-makers clearly articulate the value and priority of frontline workforce investments — and how they align with organizational priorities — other leaders and c-suite executives are more likely to embrace the strategies.

Learn more about this and other best practices in the CareerSTAT Resource Center.


Guide to Employee Financial Wellness

Employee financial wellness programs may help workers reduce financial stress and live better lives. Financial wellness programming can be one of the many tools you can use when developing supportive HR policies in your organizations. Employers with such policies can become employers of choice, expanding their talent pipelines and improving engagement and retention.

The Guide to Employee Financial Wellness, developed by the National Fund for Workforce Solutions and the Social Policy Institute at Washington University in St. Louis, provides a straightforward, step-by-step process for employers considering a financial wellness program to support their frontline workers.

REGISTER: Strategies to Integrate Racial Equity and Inclusion in COVID Recovery and Beyond

Many health systems want to decrease racial health disparities. However, few adequately name or address the root cause: systemic racism.
