Applying Evidence-Based Management to the Human Services Workforce

Human services agencies rely on a strong workforce to deliver effective services and respond to the changing needs of families. The American Public Human Services Association will host a webinar on October 22, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. ET that will explore evidence-based management approaches that agencies can use to support and strengthen their workforce.

For Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) practitioners and managers, the webinar offers an opportunity to learn approaches for using data, research, and staff feedback to inform workforce decisions. TANF programs can use these strategies to better understand staff needs, strengthen supervision and professional development, and support a workforce that is equipped to help families navigate complex needs. The webinar may be particularly useful for TANF leaders looking for practical ways to strengthen staff support and program operations.
