Our previous experience with members of the QIC-WA team opened our eyes to personnel data we didn’t even know we had access to, and helped us form a multidisciplinary team to work with it.

Now we get regular reports on vacancies, turnover, upcoming hires and departures, exit and stay surveys, and more. We use this information to look at trends and inform decisions about interventions to strengthen our workforce.
