A stable and well-trained workforce is one of the keys to operational success and quality resident care. A high rate of turnover not only decreases the quality of care due to inefficient and inexperienced staff, but increases cost because of the need for continual recruiting and training. The direct and indirect costs per turnover can be extremely costly and can be avoided by hiring the right employees and retaining the quality workforce you already have. In this training, participants will look beyond the barriers of wages & benefits and focus on organizational practices and policies to develop a direct care workforce which is satisfied, qualified and highly motivated. This interactive training provides human resource managers, administrators and others who hire staff with tools to effectively interview and select the best candidate for a vacant position.
