PHIG funding supported Nebraska’s Douglas County Health Department (DCHD) in launching a required 21-hour onboarding training for all staff. New hires must complete it within 180 days, with topics including public health competencies, building trust, ethics, resilience, and navigating challenging conversations. DCHD also rolled out a tracking system to monitor completion. This onboarding process marks a major step forward, as DCHD previously had no standardized onboarding or training system for new staff.
