In this special two-part episode of The HQ podcast, we examine the state of our health human resource (HHR) data and information and explore how our HHR data is being collected and used by our healthcare and system leaders across Canada to make decisions about our health workforce and our future needs.


To discuss this, we're thrilled to welcome back Steve Ashton, Vice-President of People & Organization Development at the IWK Health Centre, and joining him is Tony Bennett, Executive Director for HR Analytics & Planning with Alberta Health Services.


Both Steve and Tony are senior HR executives and bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and expertise to human resource analytics and workforce planning in healthcare. Tune in as they discuss their perspectives and share their insights on the importance of data-driven decision-making as it relates to our health workforce, and how they see the current state of health human resource information.


Don't miss out on this informative and thought-provoking discussion as we all get curious about our health workforce data and where it can lead us!
