Case Study: Increasing Motivation Amongst Community Health Workers
Identify Redundancy: Ask Community Health Workers “What Motivates You?”
Report Findings:
• “Leaving work every day knowing I have made a significant impact in someone’s life”
• “Helping others in need”
• “Whether it’s a short conversation, being able to provide transportation and meals, or helping a patient recognize the importance of following their medication administration schedule, it’s a truly fulfilling position to be able to put a smile on the face of someone who may not even get the opportunity to speak with another human being who genuinely cares and listens for five minutes, let alone forty.”
