Staff selection is the starting point for building a competent workforce that has the knowledge, skills, and abilities to carry out evidence-based practices with benefits to consumers. Selection is all about having processes in place to successfully recruit a workforce that presents with specific desired abilities and qualities to use the evidence-based practice well. Implementation of effective programs on a useful scale requires:
• Specification of required skills and abilities within the pool of candidates,
• Methods for recruiting likely candidates that possess these skills and abilities,
• Protocols for interviewing candidates, and
• Criteria for selecting practitioners with those skills and abilities.
Driver Look Fors
Driver Look Fors
When we are integrating the Implementation Drivers into our work we have specific look fors for each Driver that will help inform us whether or not we are removing as many potential barriers and seizing all the opportunities to improve our program. Below are the specific look fors for this driver. It includes the following information:
- Look For Description: it will begin with a numbered look for the driver. It will include a description of a critical component that should always be seen in your organization.
- Data Source(s): The Data Sources are a nudge to help us understand how we can prove that this is actually occurring throughout our organization, as well as a location to capture change ideas and improvements.
- Fully In-Place: This represents the criteria that the Data Collaborative, and NIRN, considers that the look for is completely in-place. Or in other words, the organization is meeting our expectations for this component of the driver.
- Partially In-Place: Similarly to Fully In-Place, this represents the criteria. The difference is that not all of the look for are represented in the organization.
- Not Yet In-Place: This represents when the look for has not been reflected in your organization.
