Supporting Child Welfare Supervisors to Improve Worker Retention
Landsman, Miriam
Child Welfare, v86 n2 p105-124 Mar-Apr 2007
Recent child welfare research has identified supervisors as key to retaining qualified and committed workers. This paper describes implementation of a federally funded child welfare training initiative designed to improve worker retention largely through developing, implementing, and evaluating a statewide supervisor training program in a Midwestern state. Unique to this collaborative effort was involving all child welfare supervisors in identifying needed content components, developing competencies, and conducting self-assessments.
