Respondents to a May 2003 THA survey of Tennessee health workforce strategists voted on their highest priorities for content to be included in The What, When, Where, Why & How Guide to Recruitment, Retention and Workforce Development.
Fifty strategists selected three topics under each category, ranking their choices 1 through 3. Results were tabulated, and the top three choices from each category (shown in boldface) were selected for the first online installments of the guide (some article names have been changed for clarity). All 44 topic choices are shown below.
Future articles will be added as time and resources allow. To join the Workforce Strategy Network (WSN) and ensure your voice is heard in the next content survey, contact Bill Jolley at 615-256-8240 or bjolley@tha.com.
