This learning brief provides important information to understand and explore well-being for home visitors in Oregon. First, we share information about home visitors’ well-being across several dimensions, including 1) job-related well-being (job satisfaction, feelings of emotional/physical safety on the job, work-related stress, and job burnout); 2) personal well-being (financial strain, depression and anxiety); and 3) risk of staff turnover.
Second, we explore whether there are differences in these aspects of well-being for home visitors who have different backgrounds and life experiences. We then ask the question, “What things can organizations, programs and supervisors do to influence well-being?” and describe the workplace supports and stressors that relate to worker well-being and risk of staff turnover. Fourth and finally, we describe the level of these workplace supports and stressors experienced by home visitors, and whether these differ for home visitors with different backgrounds.
