Updates from the STAR² Center

Engaged employees are happier, more productive and far more likely to stay for the long-term, and skilled managers are key to developing a highly engaged team.  In this intensive Learning Collaborative, 30 managers from health centers across the country will have the opportunity to strengthen crucial skills through a 12-week program alternating 30-minute webinars with relevant, hands-on "homework" assignments and dynamic discussions to put learning into action.  Join us for this deep dive into important strategies, skills and ideas to strengthen your team for the long-term! Apply by Feb. 18!
