Cultures and behaviours
“the focus person has begun calling people by their names, where previously she was shouting man or woman” “The focus person for the first time in her life was able to bake cupcakes.” “He is living in his own flat and is actively supported out in the community there is no Physical Interventions in his guidelines.” We have recognised as a specialist CTPLD that the staff team at the home along with it's managers have been struggling to cope with ***'s behaviours and those of others in their home. The staff team presented as overwhelmed, 'out of their depth' and unsupported. As a result of the training the staff team are now demonstrating more resilience and capability and the management are reviewing the ways they support their staff team.
Workforce redesign
Principle 1 Take a whole systems view of organisational change
Principle 2 Recognise the different ways people, organisations and partnerships
respond to change
Principle 3 Nurture champions, innovators and leaders; encourage and support
organisational learning
Principle 4 Engage people in the process; acknowledge value and utilise their
experience
Principle 5 The different ways that people learn should influence how change is
introduced and the workforce supported
Principle 6 Encourage and utilise people’s thinking about values, behaviours and
practice to shape innovation
Principle 7 Actively engage with your community to understand its cultures and
strengths; work with the community to develop inclusive and creative workforce planning strategies
Workforce integration
Principle 1
Successful workforce integration focuses on better outcomes for people with care and support needs
Principle 2
Workforce integration involves the whole system
Principle 3
To achieve genuine workforce integration, people need to acknowledge and overcome resistance to change and transition. There needs to be an acknowledgement of how integration will affect people’s roles and professional identities
Principle 4
A confident, engaged, motivated, knowledgeable and properly skilled workforce supporting active and engaged communities is at the heart of workforce integration
Principle 5
Process matters—it gives messages, creates opportunities, and demonstrates the way in which the workforce is valued
Principle 6
Successful workforce integration creates new relationships, networks and ways of working. Integrated workforce commissioning strategies give each of these attention, creating the circumstances in which all can thrive.
