Written by Marti Bowman | Jul 24, 2015 11:23:00 AM

High employee turnover, last-minute call-offs, changing regulations – workforce issues in senior care are stressful! 

Relax. OnShift is here to help. In honor of National Hammock Day (yes, hammocks have their very own holiday during the dog days of summer), I wanted to share with you some of our top resources that offer up best practices for your staffing strategy. Get advice and learn how to overcome your post-acute care workforce issues so you can efficiently recruit, hire and retain quality staff.

At OnShift, we are dedicated to helping you solve your everyday workforce challenges.  To us, success means much more than lowering costs, driving efficiencies, improving hiring, and right-sizing staff.  Success is achieved not only when your community operates more effectively than ever, but also when managers and employees are happy. The benefits of having a happy and engaged staff are far-reaching, but most importantly a happy and engaged workforce means your patients and residents receive high quality care and service.

OnShift’s suite of cloud-based human capital management software can help get you there.

  • OnShift Insight – make data-driven staffing decisions with proactive recommendations on where to hire and how to reach your Five Star staffing goals.
  • OnShift Hire - streamline hiring by building a candidate pool and managing the applicant lifecycle with our proven applicant tracking system.
  • OnShift Schedule – efficiently create and update staff schedules, fill open shifts, control overtime, and engage staff with our online and mobile staff scheduling and labor management software.

By alleviating some of your most pressing workforce challenges, we hope you can spend your time on making your community the best that it can be, and even gain back a little time to…relax.
