Read about the innovations and insights driving the future workplace when it comes to supporting employees who are also caregivers. Our CEO @sherrisnelling talked to the thought leaders

I love how everywhere I look, business trends for 2024 are about improving life for employees. Better caregiver benefits, ingraining #DEI, shifting to the 4-day week, it’s all going in the right direction. The best one is the move to replace degree requirements with skills requirements. Everyone should have the chance to enter higher education, but smart people who don’t have the opportunity to go are being unfairly held back. So, who thinks 2024 will be the ‘The Year of the Employee’? #management #humanresources

👩⚕️ Most of us know that there is a #behavioralhealthworkforce shortage in the U.S., and it is projected to continue to grow. 🔥 What is less known is that burnout is rampant in behavioral health settings. Behavioral health workforce in the U.S. are burned out for 70 million days a year! 🏥 And in some settings like non-ER hospitals, 70% of staff report burnout multiple days a month. 🔧 But trying to fix burnout is not easy. Realistically, you need to leverage predictive data analytics, #behavioral science, and years of professional experience designing and delivering workforce solutions in behavioral health. That's why at Advocates for Human Potential, Inc., our Workforce Innovation Lab, led by the dynamic Susan Lange, can customize an integrate workforce turnover solution for you! Whether it's facilitated stakeholder engagement, building optimal career pathways and pipelines, infusing inclusive hiring and managerial practices, or designing and implementing pilot programs, training, and technical assistance, AHP's Workforce Innovation lab is here to guide your organization or healthcare system improve processes and outcomes. #workforce #workforceshortage #behavioralscience #behavioralhealthworkforce #solutions

Why are PTs and other rehab therapists changing careers? This was the leading question behind our recent survey, where we asked clinicians who recently transitioned or are considering it what led to their decision. Respondents could choose multiple factors; these were some of the top findings: #1. Lack of professional growth opportunities: 85% #2. Insufficient salary and benefits: 73% #3. Emotional burnout: 68% #4. Work-life balance issues: 61% #5. Excessive workload: 55% As practice owners look for ways to create a more sustainable workplace – and stand out in the increasingly competitive market for great candidates – these concerns should be top of mind. Share these findings with your leadership team and fellow practice owners, and let these takeaways lead to productive conversations to make traditional patient care a more rewarding line of work.

THERE IS AN EPIDEMIC THAT IS TAKING PLACE IN THE WORKFORCE. This epidemic is costing companies throughout the world hundreds of billions of dollars every year. Nonetheless, the willingness to openly address it with legitimate solutions is lacking. Below is the epidemic: PEOPLE EVERYWHERE HATE THEIR JOBS! Gallup recently conducted a study in which as many as 85% of employees hated their jobs and were disconnected from their deepest sense of purpose. Regardless, while this is widely known, organizations have not been successful addressing it, or worse yet, don’t care. To be direct, what we are doing to support the employee experience isn’t working. This is in spite of more focus and attention being placed on improving the workplace experience than ever before. WHY DOES THIS MATTER? Employees who hate their jobs are less productive, produce worse results, and are more prone to leaving their workplace. Collectively, this results in the loss of hundreds of billions of dollars. This makes it imperative, we must change the way we attempt to improve the workplace. It is also the reason why I am writing a new book titled: THIS IS WHY I HATE MY JOB! In the book, I will share details as to why employees hate their workplace as well as actions leaders can take to improve the employee experience. Throughout 2024, I will be posting information about this topic. Please feel free to connect with/follow me, share posts that resonate with you, or PM me about experiences that shaped your perception of your job (good or bad). I look forward to going on this journey with you to discuss how we can successfully improve the workplace and strengthen the employee experience. 

🚫 Stop making neurodivergent employees repeatedly “come out” at work. An organisation can put systems in place so that employees’ needs and adjustments are recorded, updated and discreetly shared with a new line manager without the need of a formal diagnosis or announcing a person's neurodiversity to their team.
