Prince Albert Parkland Health Region's health employees can look forward to improved workplaces, better work-life balance and more professional development opportunities, thanks to a project funded by workforce retention grants offered by the provincial government.
The Prince Albert Parkland Health Region project involves developing and implementing a healthy workplace strategy, focusing on human resources, workplace health and organizational development. Project funding is $165,400.
Health Minister Don McMorris is announcing today approximately $1.9 million in funding for 37 innovative projects - recommended by health professionals - that will benefit a wide range of workers through out the province. This funding is part of the Health Workforce Employee Retention Program, which supports creative, grassroots initiatives designed to help keep health employees working in Saskatchewan's health care system.
"Keeping and attracting key health providers is a top priority for this government," Corrections, Public Safety and Policing Minister and Prince Albert Carlton MLA Darryl Hickie said. "I am pleased with the enthusiastic response to these retention grants. I am hopeful these grants will positively benefit workers in the Prince Albert area."
"A healthy workforce is key to ensuring we are able to meet the needs of the people we care for," Prince Albert Parkland Health Region CEO Cecile Hunt said. "By having a healthier work environment we are better able to retain the valuable employees we have and encourage others to work here."
Projects were initiated by health employees and other providers, employers and provincial health sector organizations. Details on the workforce retention program are posted on the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health website at www.health.gov.sk.ca. This completes the $25 million funding for the retention and recruitment plan previously announced.
The government has identified retention and recruitment of health care workers as a priority. The Saskatchewan Union of Nurses (SUN) and the government of Saskatchewan signed a partnership agreement in 2008 committing to work together to solve Saskatchewan's shortage of registered nurses and registered psychiatric nurses. Under the SUN/Government Partnership Agreement, any retention initiatives specific to nursing can be forwarded to the Joint SUN/Health Region Recruitment and Retention Committee for consideration. The government has committed $60 million to support this work.
