Presents its February Webinar

Keeping Top Talent in Private Duty Home Care

Thursday, February 14, 2013 - 4:00 pm eastern time

 

With Diane West and Stephen Tweed

With caregiver turnover running at 49.8% and the typical company growing at 7.3% per year, one of the biggest challenges you’ll face in the future is having enough caregivers to meet the growing demand for your services.  As the economy improves and unemployment goes down, it will be even more difficult to keep your top caregivers.

Research conducted by Leading Home Care … a Tweed Jeffries company and Marjent Private Duty Solutions shows that it costs you at least $829 for every caregiver who quits or gets fired.  Multiply that by the number of caregivers you currently employ, and again by 49.8% and you’ll see exactly how much your turnover is costing you.

We also have found that the two most important elements of satisfaction for home care clients are dependability and continuity of care.  Do your caregivers show up on time as scheduled, and do you send the same caregiver every time?

In this interactive web conference, Stephen Tweed will give you the latest research on retaining top talent in your company.  He’ll explain the seven sources of strategic staffing advantage, and demonstrate how you can apply these principles to create a great place to work for your caregivers.

Objectives: As a result of this program, you will be able to …

1.  Describe the latest research into why caregivers quit, and what you can do to keep them

2.  Discuss three specific strategies you can use to create a great place to work for your caregivers

3.  Explain how to accurately measure your employee turnover and calculate the costs to you.
