Building Evidence for the Effectiveness of Workforce Interventions: The QIC-WD Approach
The QIC-WD presented a session titled, Building Evidence for the Effectiveness of Workforce Interventions: The QIC-WD Approach, at the 2018 National Staff Development and Training Association education conference. Our presentation includes a short overview of the QIC-WD, discusses the need for evidence-based strategies to attract and retain child welfare workers, and describes how the QIC-WD is working with project sites to develop rigorous research designs that will contribute to what is known about effective workforce interventions. We also share how we assessed organizational and individual readiness among the eight QIC-WD sites and the importance of understanding readiness for change and evaluation prior to implementing a workforce intervention.
