The WORK4RRS Toolkit is being developed by a collaboration of researchers, health professionals, HR practitioners and managers working together to improve rural and remote health workforce sustainability
Improving workforce sustainability
Review it
It all begins with a review of what you are currently doing in your organisation. What would you like to do? What are your organisation’s goals for improving workforce sustainability.
The WORK4RRS Toolkit contains review tools (contact us for more information)
Plan it
Next, compare your current activities with your organisation’s objectives to identify opportunities for improvement, and where there may be gaps.

Continuously improve it
Finally, it is hard to get things right the first time, but that is ok, your evaluation will show you what is working and what is not. Review, plan design and implement changes to your intervention, then evaluate to see if it is working better.
