Professional training can boost caregivers' job satisfaction and confidence, resulting in improved outcomes for members. In fact, in our latest Homecare Insights Survey, HHAeXchange found that caregivers would feel greater career satisfaction if they were supported with additional training resources. See the breakdown of training topics caregivers are most interested in: https://lnkd.in/eZGSZEsr P.S. HHAeXchange partners with companies like Nevvon and showd.me to offer training and development resources for caregivers.

Have the costs of days off for your employees been climbing? Strong disability management solutions are available to help you implement solid processes and help your employees. Let me know if you'd like to discuss these solutions.

This makes me sad. I just received an email advertising two jobs for fully qualified and accredited therapists for EAP type provisions. These are both zero hour contracts on the basis that you are also self employed. Both way below the average rate for a private therapy session. This is why your EAP is so cheap. This is why it may also not be fit for purpose. I’ve heard too many stories now of below par service or people not being able to get through to a counsellor or having to wait an inordinate amount of time to speak to someone. This is why. #justsaying

You’re at your desk, and the phone rings. “Hello, I’m calling from Acme Talent Agency, do you have a minute to hear about our successful placements?” Your answer? “No, I *don’t* have time.” You never have time for anything but getting through the day. But what if the person on the other end of the phone said something like this? “Hello, I’m calling from Acme Talent. We just interviewed two Nurses within a 30 minute drive of your clinic and thought they’d be a good fit for your team. Are you the right person to talk to about that?” Your mind starts going in a different direction now… You think about the appointments you had to reschedule last week because you were short a nurse. You think about how the last 3 nurses you interviewed were nice but didn’t want to deal with the commute… This isn’t an imposition… It’s a lifeline. Most outreach messages go nowhere because they do nothing but annoy. I was talking with a sharp, successful consultant this week who said that "every time I start to try and steer the conversation towards sales, they stop replying" And it happens to everyone. Everyone who starts pitching to people who don't need to hear a pitch. Everyone who thinks more about "how can this lead help me" Than they do about "Is this message/cold call/post" *really* helping this person? If you're in the business of helping people... Then make sure every bit of communication you put out there is helpful, not just to the people who pay you.

5 Tips to Improve Your Disability Management Program for 2024 As we navigate the initial months of 2024, it’s a good time for HR Teams to review your Disability Management policies and processes to ensure there are no “leaks” that could cause unnecessary time loss. Here are some tips from our Disability Management Division to assist you in developing an effective employee-focused disability management program: 1. Review all HR policies to “plug the leaks”: Review the wording of your STD, Accommodation, Return to Work, and Drug & Alcohol policies to make sure they do not hinder effective claims adjudication and return to work plans. 2. Review job descriptions and physical demands analysis (PDA): Understanding the physical demands of each role is crucial for case management. This allows the case manager to accurately assess if an employee is medically unable to perform their job duties. 3. Review your wellness and mental health support programs:   Enhanced wellness support not only reduces recovery times and absenteeism costs; additionally, by assessing management teams in high-claim areas, it can identify and resolve internal issues, accelerating employee return to work and preventing excess claims. 4. Address workplace issue claims before submitting to a 3rd party provider: It's essential to create a healthier work environment by training management to effectively handle workplace issues.  For example, many STD policies clearly state that short-term disability benefits do not cover incidents stemming from workplace-related issues. These issues must be managed and resolved by the management team. This is a typical “leak” in the process that causes unnecessary time loss and delay. 5. Review the hiring process to reduce the risk of future STD or WCB claims: Poor hiring decisions can lead to unnecessary, complex, and prolonged claims. It might be time to refine your hiring processes to mitigate these risks. For example, post-offer medical examinations set a health baseline and validate if the new hire has the functional and cognitive abilities for the job. Workplace Medical’s disability management experts can help you review and assess your disability management program.  Book a free 30-minute consultation to review and assess your program and discuss your challenges: https://lnkd.in/eG7SHMT #HRManagement #DisabilityManagement #WorkplaceWellness
