Workforce Symposium -- It’s All About The People: Resolving Your Greatest Workforce Challenges -- LIVE WEBINAR SERIES (March 11-12, 2020)
- Registration Closed
Staff challenges are not unique to your organization; in fact, it is a thread affecting long-term care nationally. According to the 2017 U.S. Census Bureau, National Population Projections Tables, the number of adults aged 65 and older will nearly double from 49 million to 95 million over the next 40 years. This means that one in four Americans will be at least 65 years old by 2060.
During the same time period, the number of adults aged 18 to 64 will only increase by 14 percent. The labor force is not keeping up. Experts predict that more than half of that aging population will need both short- and long-term care. As the paradigm shifts and more people choose to age in place, home care services are in demand. As a result, millions of jobs will be added to home health services during that same time period. On the flip side, filling direct care jobs continue to be a struggle as the economy grows and people shift to other industries for higher wages, more stable and flexible hours, safer working conditions, and opportunities for advancement. Turnover rates in long-term care continue to be high, and health care leaders are looking for strategies and solutions to combat the problem.
The goal of this workforce symposium is to provide health care leaders with strategies for success. We will look at ways to not only generate a high volume of applicants, but to find the right ones—the best fit for the job. The presenters will discuss how to retain those best candidates by: developing new worker pools, improving the hiring process to ensure a good fit, strengthening the onboarding process and staff training, developing opportunities for advancement, and using technology to move your hiring and retention process to the next level.
