Aged Care Quality Staff Retention
What can a provider do for you?
The Royal Commission on Aged Care Quality and Safety heard testimony.
Elderly care employees should be encouraged to, in order to, the following crucial areas to achieving job satisfaction:
- Enough time spent with clients to build trust
- To feel as though they are truly making a difference in the lives of the elderly
- Independence and diversity at work
- The chance to put their education and training to use
- Positive working relationships
How can your company give each of these chances to employees?
• Provide a smooth exit for quality employees leaving your company. To learn the cause(s) of their resignation, conduct interviews:
- Give thought to the reasons cited for departing
- Decide which of them you can address.
- Create a strategy to handle the issue(s) you've been given.
