  4. Project Goals: To understand the determinants of quality time for public health leaders. To decrease non-quality time & increase work-life balance among public health leaders. To identify strategies to improve quality time and work-life balance. To personally benefit by gaining more quality time; To apply action learning.

  5. Improving Quality Time Through our action learning we identified 4 key steps for Public Health Professionals: Understand Quality Time and Barriers to achieving it Explore and use tools to improve or aid quality time Model behaviors for self and others Reflect and learn from actions

  6. What is Quality Time? The ability to focus on a particular task at hand. The ability to prioritize and maximize productivity Time which leads to a sense of pride or completion Being able to align work activities with individual and organizational values/objectives Being challenged professionally Ability to empower staff to achieve their own goals. Having willpower and control over our daily activities Mindfulness about our daily interactions. Allows for personal or professional growth Action Step 1

  7. Electronic Communication & Quality Time

  8. Electronic tools can improve Quality Time Efficiency: May increase the extent and efficiency of PH outreach efforts Engagement: May improve staff, public, and partner engagement Empowerment: Allows staff, partners and public greater input and control over their health Empathy: Can increase the qualitative and/or emotional aspects of work engagement. Action Step 2

  9. Social Media may help improve Quality Time, but… Many public health executives cannot access these social media: Concerns about network security Mistrust of social media or fear of abuse by staff IT professionals may be unaware of the needs or utility for public health professionals Cultural disconnect between IT and public health professionals Lack of communication between IT and Public Health staff Action Step 2

  10. Explore and use tools to improve Quality Time Tools to improve time management Tools to manage email communication Managing the blackberry Use new technologies and electronic media which facilitate communication PB Wiki Twitter Facebook Google Documents Blogs Action Step 2

  11. Communication Tools: Twitter

  12. Social Media Tools: Mobile

  13. eTools of the (Near) Future

  14. Model “Quality Time” behaviors Prioritize periods for quality time with key staff and colleagues Build workplace culture in which quality interactions are defined, valued and rewarded Commit to evidence-based practice by evaluating and implementing promising practices Build relationships with IT colleagues to allow piloting or implementation of appropriate social media in the workplace Action Step 3

  15. Systems Approaches for improving IT support for social media in the workplace Propose pilot studies/trials of social media Invite scientific seminars on web 2.0 and invite IT security people and encourage their participation; Focus on missed opportunities – efficiencies, cost savings, health impact Build better bridges between the public health professionals and professional support staff (e.g. IT leads) Encourage funding agencies to drive changes in contracts and funding agreements Measure and monitor workplace performance after introduction of social media Action Step 3

  16. Reflect and Learn: Team Learning Through team reflection we learned that: Quality time is complex and multi-factorial New social media can support and nurture the quality of existing work relationships, Social media are not a great substitute for phone or in-person engagement when relationships are first being established Harnessed well, social media can extend opportunities for public health leadership and engagement with staff and stakeholders. Action Step 4

  17. Reflect and Learn: Individual Learning Perspectives gained, included: Applying action learning to explore QT and its meaning for us as leaders as well as others Ability to explore and use a range of new social media Ability to model “in real time” strategies for improving QT Applying lessons learned about QT to our own work environment, encouraging staff and improving interactions. Action Step 4

  18. A vision for Quality Time Having more Quality Time (QT) is a recurrent concern of public health executives Through our work we now understand the nature, form and contexts for quality time We have developed a typology for improving quality time which includes: Understanding QT and its barriers Exploring and using tools to improve QT Modeling QT behaviors for self and others Reflecting and learning from our actions Summary

  19. Conclusions Quality time is complex and multi-factorial New social media can support and nurture the quality of existing work relationships Social media are not a great substitute for phone or in-person engagement when relationships are first being established Harnessed well, social media can extend opportunities for public health leadership and engagement with staff and stakeholders.

  26. Team’s ultimate realization…. • We can never fully “own” Web 2.0. • “Why are we looking at Web 2.0 again?” • This is far more than technology. • If we can’t use Web 2.0 to communicate with each other, we will never be able to use it effectively in our interventions. • Our PHLI group was our target population. 28

  27. So what is Web 2.0? “Social media (or Web 2.0) is how people use decentralized, people-based networks to get the things they need from one another rather than from traditional institutions, like businesses or media.” PRSA 2008 International Conference: The Point of Connection-Social Media Discussion 29
