Why it worked

The video taps into a common frustration within the social work field regarding the effectiveness of traditional training methods versus addressing systemic issues and workload. The direct and empathetic tone likely resonates with the target audience.

Summary

The speaker argues that caseworkers often don't need more training, but rather for their workload and systemic issues to be addressed. They suggest listening to caseworkers about what makes their job harder instead of assuming more training is the solution.

Your struggling caseworker doesn't need another training CAN WE STOP ASSUMING EVERY STRUGGLING ANOTHER DAMN TRAINING? SOMETIMES THEY KNOW EXACTLY HOW TO DO THE JOB. ANOTHER WEBINAR ON TIME MANAGEMENT. THEY DON'T NEED ANOTHER CHECKLIST, AND THEY DEFINITELY DON'T NEED SOMEONE JUST PRIORITIZE BETTER. SOMETIMES THEY HAVE TOO MANY CASES, TOO MANY EMERGENCIES, AND NOT ENOUGH AND BEFORE WE DECIDE THAT THEY NEED TO BE THEIR WORKLOAD, MAYBE WE SHOULD ASK WHAT'S MAKING YOUR JOB HARDER LISTEN TO THE ANSWER. TRAIN SOMEONE TO NOT BE OVERWHELMED BY AN OVERWHELMING SYSTEM.

Listen to the answer. Train someone to not be overwhelmed by an overwhelming system.
