Workforce Well-being: Strategies to Engage Leadership

Authors: Institute for Home Visiting Workforce Development and Jackie Walorski Center for Evidence-Based Case Management

This tip sheet provides home visitors and supervisors with practical strategies and tools to help champion workforce well-being by partnering with leadership and inspiring action. It is further supported by the Making the Case for Home Visiting Workforce Well-being infographic and the Calculating the Financial Benefit from Reducing Employee Turnover in Home Visiting worksheet, which you can read more about, and together these resources provide actionable steps for advocating for and implementing workforce well-being efforts.

This tip sheet emphasizes the importance of using data, storytelling, and real-world examples to clearly communicate both the human and financial impact of staff well-being, while also offering practical approaches to initiate conversations, build buy-in, and align well-being initiatives with organizational goals. By encouraging collaborative strategies—such as creating leadership-supported workgroups, inviting leaders to experience the day-to-day realities of home visiting, and identifying staff champions—this resource helps bridge the gap between frontline experience and executive decision-making.
