Book Secondary Trauma  Worker Safety  and Staff Retention in Frontier Child Welfare

Download or read book Secondary Trauma Worker Safety and Staff Retention in Frontier Child Welfare written by Nicole Bradford (H.) and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social workers in child welfare often are exposed to children and families dealing with complex and traumatic issues at points of crisis. Child welfare workers regularly are exposed to clients experiencing trauma due to a variety of issues, including physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, domestic violence, assault, poverty, and substance abuse. The effects of regular exposure to crisis and trauma can be far reaching, and child welfare agencies experience extraordinarily high rates of staff turnover and "burnout," and this can often be directly co-related to the negative effects of chronic exposure to trauma, or secondary trauma. In addition to exposure to client trauma, child welfare workers often face unique events that may be considered direct trauma, including threats to safety and workplace violence. Child welfare workers in a rural setting face unique challenges related to secondary trauma, burnout, and worker safety. The need for education and ongoing support for child welfare social workers around identifying signs of secondary trauma and practicing self-care is crucial, and in rural communities with limited external resources, public child welfare agencies must examine how to allocate internal resources and build emotional and psychological supports for social workers into agency structure. The aim of this master’s project is to solicit input from current social workers in a rural child welfare agency to assist in developing and implementing a staff training related to secondary trauma and self-care that can be built into the internal agency infrastructure. A focus group will assist in empowering social workers to discuss and express their needs, and the qualitative data gained from this focus group will serve as a preliminary needs assessment to address current staff training needs, policies and procedures, and assist in the development of trauma informed agency practices which support staff retention and job satisfaction.

Book Integrating Employee Health

Download or read book Integrating Employee Health written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-09-29 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The American workforce is changing, creating new challenges for employers to provide occupational health services to meet the needs of employees. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) workforce is highly skilled and competitive and employees frequently work under intense pressure to ensure mission success. The Office of the Chief Health and Medical Officer at NASA requested that the Institute of Medicine review its occupational health programs, assess employee awareness of and attitude toward those programs, recommend options for future worksite preventive health programs, and ways to evaluate their effectiveness. The committee's findings show that although NASA has a history of being forward-looking in designing and improving health and wellness programs, there is a need to move from a traditional occupational health model to an integrated, employee-centered program that could serve as a national model for both public and private employers to emulate and improve the health and performance of their workforces.

Book Strengthening the Retention of Child Protection Workers

Download or read book Strengthening the Retention of Child Protection Workers written by Kenneth Burns and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines a key issue in the field of human and social services: how to retain workers in child protection and welfare organisations. Research over the last decade has highlighted the turnover of these workers as being a pressing and perennial issue that impacts upon service users, staff welfare, resources and the reputation of this sector. This book presents the findings of a study examining social workers' retention in child protection and welfare. The findings from this study highlights how workers' retention is influenced by exchanges relationships with colleagues and managers, and this book presents a unique 'career preference' typology which expands our understanding of how workers make decisions to stay or leave based upon their pre-conceptions of career pathways post-qualification. The book also examines findings associated with the employment mobility of these workers within child protection and tracks their next post after leaving, which provides some surprising findings regarding how we understand and measure turnover for these workers. The book also examines rich qualitative data from these workers' experiences of being a social worker in child protection associated with; job satisfaction, commitment to child protection and welfare work, making a difference, quality of supervision, autonomy, and exchange relationships with peers, all of which emerged as important factors in social workers' decisions to stay or leave. The implications of this study's findings for theory are also explored. Kenneth Burns is deputy course director of the Master of Social Work and a research associate with the Institute for Social Science in the 21st Century at University College Cork, Ireland.

Book Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers

Download or read book Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-03-26 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mirroring a worldwide phenomenon in industrialized nations, the U.S. is experiencing a change in its demographic structure known as population aging. Concern about the aging population tends to focus on the adequacy of Medicare and Social Security, retirement of older Americans, and the need to identify policies, programs, and strategies that address the health and safety needs of older workers. Older workers differ from their younger counterparts in a variety of physical, psychological, and social factors. Evaluating the extent, causes, and effects of these factors and improving the research and data systems necessary to address the health and safety needs of older workers may significantly impact both their ability to remain in the workforce and their well being in retirement. Health and Safety Needs of Older Workers provides an image of what is currently known about the health and safety needs of older workers and the research needed to encourage social polices that guarantee older workers a meaningful share of the nation's work opportunities.
