TasCOSS Workforce Development Project 2009 - 2010
This project aims to explore the major issues relating to recruitment and retention of staff in the community services sector. In particular, it will examine the connections between organisational culture and worker satisfaction and how this impacts on willingness to continue to work for an organisation. 
This work is undertaken as part of the TasCOSS contract with the DHHS and is also informed by the Community Services Industry Plan which lists as a major priority the need to secure a workforce for the future. The plan recognises that one of the key elements to achieving this goal is that “organisations must be equipped to support staff, and to ensure their health and wellbeing in the workforce.” To read more about the project click here.
