Baldrige Health Care Glossary

Workforce

The term “workforce” refers to all people actively involved in accomplishing the work of your organization, including paid employees (e.g., permanent, part-time, temporary, and telecommuting employees, as well as contract employees supervised by the organization), independent practitioners not paid by the organization (e.g., physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, acupuncturists, and nutritionists), volunteers, and health care students (e.g., medical, nursing, and ancillary), as appropriate. The workforce includes team leaders, supervisors, and managers at all levels

Note: The term “workforce” was added to the Baldrige Glossary for 2007. It replaces the previously used term "employee".

Note: Blue words above are hyperlinks to other integrated Glossary terms.
