This April VHCA-VCAL is hosting a Workforce Symposium: Recruiting and Retaining Stars in Senior Care. Lou Ann Brubaker, president of Brubaker Consulting, will share best practices she has identified as a product of her on-the-ground focus gathered from over 30 years of experience in senior care challenges. She will distill clear strategies for both recruiting and retaining staff you can begin implementing immediately.

Workforce Symposium: Recruiting and Retaining Stars in Senior Care

Workforce Symposium Overview

Workforce stability impacts every single objective targeted by post-acute care facilities: regulatory compliance, financial viability, occupancy/mix, and customer satisfaction. At the same time, competition for staff is only continuing to increase while some state policymakers have called for direct care staffing mandates.

So how do you attract the exceptional staff member? How do you encourage staff to stay once you’ve hired them? This dynamic, full-day education program will provide you with solutions. You’ll leave with actionable advice on how to:

• Refine available job messaging to encourages people to apply
• Evaluate first impression issues that either create or undermine your center’s success
• Interview for the things that can actually predict an employee’s willingness to stay/assimilate
• Differentiate between on-boarding and orientation, including strategies each requires
• Take the issue of money off the table as an impediment to retention
• Address supervisor skill deficits contributing to turnover
• Identify what aspects of your center’s culture may be part of the problem and how it can be fixed
