2-A. 15 Easy(ish) Ways to Retain Team Members

Faced with incredibly high turnover, many providers of aging services are focusing on staff retention as a primary solution to the workforce crisis. This session will use a “Leaders-in-Residence” model to explore a variety of strategies for retaining team members and building a truly engaged workforce. Participants will be invited to enjoy a “speed-dating” experience featuring subject matter experts stationed at 15 tables. Select five tables you’ll visit during the session and then start collecting tips in the areas that interest you. You’ll return home ready to implement a variety of innovative retention strategies, such as adopting new staffing models, establishing apprenticeship programs, helping team members set and meet personal and professional goals, and intentionally recognizing excellence in the workplace.
