Retaining qualified staff is a challenge for many sexual and reproductive health agencies and programs. This webinar invites managers and staff at all levels to learn about strategies, action steps, and resources to develop an open, responsive, and supportive work environment, with the broader aim of increasing retention of qualified staff. We will use the updated Staff Support and Retention Toolkit as a guide.

Attendees will also hear from Jessi Hitchins, Executive Director of Family Health Services Inc., who participated in the RHNTC’s Supporting and Retaining Staff Peer Learning Group. Jessi will share which resources from the Staff Support and Retention Toolkit she has found most valuable and how her organization is cultivating a supportive work environment.

This webinar is open to Title X agencies, Teen Pregnancy Prevention (TPP) Program grantees, and similar organizations.
