Managing the Business of People

Date: Wednesday, February 27, 2019, 1:30 to 3:00 pm

Summary

Staff recruitment and retention has emerged as a growing concern for many facilities. As the nation faces a significant nursing shortage, staff turnover, particularly at the management and supervisory levels, causes the facility to remain in a state of instability. Achieving an environment of care that speaks equally to the quality of life for residents and the quality of work life for staff requires education and training that goes beyond addressing what the resident needs. It’s time to begin asking what those working in the facility need. This session offers practical guidance in developing an effective strategy for anticipating and addressing the organizational behaviors that challenge the facility’s ability to achieve its goals.
