NC Health Care Workforce Survey: Employer Participation Requested

As part of the NC Health Talent Alliance, NASW-NC invites social workers to participate in a timely and important annual workforce survey. We kindly ask that you submit responses by Friday, March 8.

In coordination and partnership with more than twenty statewide health care associations and agencies, our collective goal is to gather detailed employer demand for jobs critical to health care operation. The survey will also gather demand projections. This is the first statewide effort to capture real-time employer demand.

The Health Talent Alliance will use this data to identify and drive meaningful improvements to our health care workforce pipeline.

TAKE SURVEY

Why Your Participation Matters: Your insights are essential in shaping a stronger health care sector in North Carolina. Data collected will directly contribute to building more effective talent pipelines, making better informed investments in education, addressing critical job demands, and ultimately enhancing health care services across the state.

Who Should Complete Survey: Hiring managers or those involved in human resource management.

If you represent a larger employer with a corporate office and multiple facilities (3 or more), The Health Talent Alliance team is available to work with you to coordinate directly if providing data at the facility level is challenging. The NC Health Talent Alliance team will be actively reaching out to larger systems. However, if the team has not yet connected with you, please send a note to Emily McCartha, Project Manager at the UNC Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research, at mccartha@ad.unc.edu to initiate this process. Additionally, if you work for a larger group or system and are unsure whether your organization has been in contact with us, please reach out to Emily or check with your organization to help avoid duplication.

How to Participate: Please access the survey using this secure link. You may also download an Excel template here to further assist with organizing your workforce data. If you use the Excel template to organize your data, please submit it to Emily McCartha upon completion at mccartha@ad.unc.edu. If you cannot complete the online survey in one sitting, your progress online will automatically be saved.

Privacy & Security:

• Data is securely stored at UNC's Cecil G. Sheps Center.

• Information will only be shared in the aggregate, with no PHI or HIPAA data requested.

• Firm-specific data remains confidential, with our team following strict security and privacy protocols.

For any questions related to this survey, please email Emily McCartha, PhD, Research Project Manager for the UNC Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research at mccartha@ad.unc.edu.
