Join ASTHO for the final Lunch & Learn series webinar focused on preserving institutional knowledge during workforce transitions in public health agencies and the implications for STI and infectious disease programs. As part of ASTHO’s Policy Institute, this session will examine the challenges health departments face when staff retire, change roles, or leave organizations, and how these transitions can affect program effectiveness and continuity.
This webinar will highlight promising policies and practices that support knowledge transfer, succession planning, and workforce resilience. Our speaker will discuss the impact of staff turnover on STI and infectious disease prevention efforts and share practical approaches to retaining critical institutional knowledge and maintaining program sustainability.
After this webinar, attendees will be able to:
Describe common challenges and risks associated with institutional knowledge loss in public health agencies.
Identify policies, practices, and strategies that support effective knowledge capture, transfer, and succession planning.
Understand the implications of workforce transitions and knowledge loss for STI and infectious disease prevention, response, and program sustainability.
As a multi-pronged resource opportunity, ASTHO’s Policy Institute encompasses online learning modules, Lunch & Learn webinar series insights, and additional technical assistance.
