Improve your work life by taking PH WINS!! The Public Health Workforce Interests and Needs Survey (PH WINS) is an online survey of individual workers at government public health agencies fielded by the de Beaumont Foundation in partnership with the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO). PH WINS helps health departments better understand their workforce’s strengths and gaps, identify opportunities to improve skills, training, and employee engagement, and inform and guide future workforce research and development, such as recruitment and retention efforts. All U.S. state and local government public health departments are eligible to participate in PH WINS. Additionally, for the first time ever, PH WINS is expanding to include U.S. territories and freely associated states. If you work in a public health department, check your inbox for your personal survey link. The deadline to complete the survey is this Friday, Jan. 10. Learn more about the survey and the eligibility requirements on debeaumont.org/phwins.
