Workforce Sessions at Upcoming Conference

Recognizing that this is the top issue for members, the conference will feature a workforce track throughout the conference. The conference will begin with a Workforce Power Session featuring Metropolitan State University's research measuring student perceptions from a purposeful and holistic viewpoint in which the students revealed their impressions of the senior living and care industry, what it would take to recruit them into the industry, and their knowledge of industry FAQs. Breakout sessions include The High Cost of Low Morale; Workforce 360: Tackling Staffing Challenges with Modern Engagement Practices; and Work Ethic: The Critical Skills for the 21st Century Workforce. Last but not least, the conference will conclude with Workforce Ignite - a showcase of talks that focus on successful workforce practices.
