Proactive Staffing Management
It’s the end of the pay period, and facility management reviews payroll reports to see how much overtime occurred the past two weeks. The administrator is shocked to see how much was spent on overtime, and encourages staff to do better next time. Sound familiar? This is how many facilities manage overtime and other issues, like staffing level compliance. But the problem with this approach is that the reviews are done historically—after problems have already occurred. What makes matters worse is that getting information that could help alleviate some of these issues is locked up in other systems, making it difficult to access and nearly impossible to understand the complete picture of staffing with a building and across locations.
With growing competition and massive cost control demands in long-term care and senior living, this reactive approach is no longer acceptable.
