April 11, 2024 15:07 - 13 minutes - 12.1 MBFor those concerned about teacher burnout and retention issues in K-12 education, Curtis Johnson has seen an innovative model in action that could provide an answer: let teachers run the schools.

David Jarrard, Chairman of Jarrard, Inc.: Keeping The Human Touch In The Age of Digital Communications
March 27, 2024 14:00 - 32 minutes - 29.9 MBAs almost any employer can tell you, today’s workers have high expectations for compensation, the quality of their work experience, and the level of work-life balance. Today’s WorkforceRx guest, David Jarrard, would add one key item to that list: they also expect to have a voice when organizations make important decisions. That means leaders have to engage with workers, not just communicate to them, and that requires creating opportunities for dialogue. “There's ways for ideas to be shared ba...

January 31, 2024 17:01 - 28 minutes - 26.3 MBThe growing crisis in homelessness across the US has understandably garnered a lot of news coverage and attention from policymakers, and today’s WorkforceRx guest wants to make sure one key facet of the problem is not overlooked as solutions are discussed. “There's a lot of over-representation of older people in the homelessness rates, and older Black Californians -- and this is a staggering statistic -- are five times more likely to become homeless than their white counterparts,” says Dr. Sa...

January 17, 2024 15:07 - 23 minutes - 21.2 MBState departments of health play a huge role in America's healthcare system, with responsibility for public health, licensure, public policy, and much more, so the workforce challenges they face have broad implications. “It will probably be twenty years before we really begin to bend the curve because many of the workforce shortages we encounter require very long-term strategies to change,” says Paula Nickelson, Director of the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services.

Michael Horn, Co-Founder of the Clayton Christensen Institute: Bringing Disruptive Innovations to Education
January 04, 2024 15:22 - 29 minutes - 26.7 MB“If I looked at higher education writ large, as we've traditionally defined it, I'd say that the patient is sick right now,” says Michael Horn, a prominent national voice on reimagining education at both the K-12 and post-secondary levels.

December 13, 2023 14:39 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBDoctors who realize that creating a local jobs program can be as important to helping their patients as writing a prescription have the kind of broad perspective that today’s WorkforceRx guest wants all health providers to adopt. “I think that context is oftentimes lost on providers in medical school or nursing school where they're not connecting the patient to the entire context of their lives,” says Dr. Sriram Shamasunder, the co-founder of the Health Equity Action and Leadership initiative...
Dr. David Ferreira, Provost of Charter Oak State College: Turning Employee Tuition Benefit On Its Head
November 29, 2023 15:38 - 32 minutes - 29.9 MBAlthough most US employers offer some form of tuition assistance, it’s estimated that less than 5% of employees use the benefit. There are several reasons for this, but according to Dr. David Ferreira, provost of Charter Oak State College, paying the upfront cost of tuition is high on the list. “Fifty-seven percent of Americans have less than $1,000 in their savings account. They cannot commit to an upfront tuition cost especially if they’re living paycheck to paycheck,” he tells Futuro Healt...

November 08, 2023 16:24 - 24 minutes - 22.8 MBLike all states, California is facing a shortage of physicians -- in its case a gap of 10,500 by the end of the decade -- but today’s WorkforceRx guest says the definition of shortage needs to go beyond just numbers to include their practice location and cultural diversity. “Oftentimes, we don't have enough access to physicians in particular areas or to culturally dynamic physicians,” says Lupe Alonzo-Diaz, president and CEO of Physicians for a Healthy California. As she explains to Futuro He...

September 27, 2023 15:51 - 35 minutes - 32.4 MBThe use of simulation in healthcare training used to be confined to actors posing as patients and the use of medical mannequins.

September 13, 2023 15:54 - 22 minutes - 20.9 MBWhile there’s little that matches the excitement a new school year brings, it’s tempered somewhat this year by the need to continue recovering from the many disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our WorkforceRx guest, Carissa Moffat Miller, is in the thick of efforts to help school system leaders find potential solutions as CEO of the Council...
Tanya Harris, Aspen Institute Health Innovators Fellowship: Fostering Collaboration to Improve Healthcare
August 24, 2023 15:11 - 25 minutes - 23.2 MB“Healthcare is just so large and complex and expensive. We've got to find better ways to reach across political divides, ideological disagreements and narrow, sector-based perspectives,” says Tanya Harris, who runs the Health Innovators Fellowship at the Aspen Institute which is designed to do just that. The program provides a diverse group of mid-career professionals with the opportunity to do the kind of connecting and thinking that’s not possible in the rush of daily life. “They're away f...

July 19, 2023 15:00 - 35 minutes - 32.3 MBWorsening staff shortages in healthcare are prompting some big shifts in how hospitals are approaching the issue, and New Mexico is a good case in point.

Among the 44 million Americans affected, the debt load is $30,000 for the average borrower, including those who did not complete their certificate program or degree.

June 15, 2023 13:11 - 34 minutes - 31.3 MBWhile it will be years before researchers can render a verdict on how the wholesale shift to online learning during COVID impacted student performance, it’s already clear that in higher education, post-pandemic use of education technology and positively attitudes about it have both increased.

June 01, 2023 01:20 - 32 minutes - 29.6 MB“I haven't really seen that much in my career as a journalist where California and Alabama are rowing in the same direction.

Mark Burns, Executive Director of Homebridge: Innovative Retention Strategies in Home Care
March 29, 2023 00:04 - 28 minutes - 25.9 MBMost home care workers are women of color working more than one job, struggling to afford childcare, and doing difficult work without any prospects for advancement. It’s no wonder, then, that it’s hard to find and retain workers for these critically needed positions. Making matters worse is a competitive job market for entry level workers which means people can find less taxing positions for the same pay. That’s why today’s WorkforceRx guest, Mark Burns, is so pleased to be involved in Calif...

February 15, 2023 15:03 - 16 minutes - 14.8 MB“My parents were feminists long before I even knew the term.

In fact, she believes that trend has already begun. “Leaders a...

November 29, 2022 14:53 - 36 minutes - 33.1 MB“One of the trends that we'll see in 2023 is a reimagining of benefits.

September 13, 2022 20:40 - 37 minutes - 34.6 MBWhen it comes to the impact of artificial intelligence on the workforce, there is still a major split between those who worry about “robots” replacing workers, and those who think employees will benefit from AI if it is harnessed the right way.
