Managing Health Workers

Health workers are the largest part of the formal workforce in most countries, yet few of their managers have any formal management training. As a result, the health sector experiences low productivity, low morale, high turnover, and ultimately high vacancy rates. IntraHealth International, the world’s leading non-profit supporting health workers globally, has developed “Managing Health Workers” for anyone who manages health workers in any setting. The cards in the app provide tips for hiring and managing health workers, building teams, etc., and can be favorited or shared. We are actively seeking feedback from health worker managers in sub-Saharan Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America to inform updates to this app. We welcome your suggestions as well as stories of how the app helped you.
