Contagious Resilient Leadership in Home Support

This research project involves the evaluation of a leadership program entitled “Contagious Resilient Leadership” for long-term continuing care and home care workers. Leadership training has been identified as extremely important in the continuing care sector, but has continued to be overlooked. The goal of these workshops is to get continuing and home care workers working better, embracing change and becoming more creative and innovative at an individual level, organization level and community level. Katie Wagar will be focusing on creating an evaluation program to assess the impact of the pilot program. This project will benefit the Health Care Human Resource Sector Council (HCHRSC) by taking a new approach to professional/ personal development by investigating how leaders in the continuing care sector can inspire innovation and decrease burnout.
