The Healthcare Anchor Network (HAN) released the Impact Workforce Toolkit, a practical resource that captures a decade of learning on how health systems can use their hiring and workforce practices to create meaningful economic opportunity in their communities. The results are that community members get a fair shot at a good job with career pathways and health systems are able to address critical workforce shortages. Built from case studies and tools drawn directly from health systems across the country, the Impact Workforce Toolkit is designed for practitioners at every stage. The Toolkit also discusses how providing support services such as resources for housing stability and utilizing employer-assisted housing are good recruitment and employee retention strategies.
