Krauss and Charles will present at the annual conventions of the American Health Care Association (AHCA), and the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA) respectively on strategies and techniques that organizations can adopt to improve their quality of service and staff retention.

Why:

The extraordinarily high rates of turnover and frontline staff vacancies are plaguing the long-term care industry. As long-term care organizations struggle to balance labor costs, turnover, and superior care, hiring the best employee — and not just any employee — has come to the forefront.

During their sessions, Krauss and Charles will demonstrate how the staffing process can be used effectively as a strategic initiative targeted at both the frontline and managers, and help long-term care organizations accomplish important outcomes such as creating a strong culture, increasing effective work behaviors, reducing staff turnover, improving quality of care, and influencing key business metrics. Research findings from large-scale studies with collaborative long-term care organizations will be presented to show how selecting individuals with specific personality characteristics, preferences, and experiences can increase effective performance in the job, which impacts important company performance metrics.
