Workforce Retention Toolkit

Staffing in nursing homes has a significant impact on the quality of care and outcomes residents experience. Although staffing has always been problematic for nursing homes at some level, the impact of COVID-19 has been substantial.  We understand the issues nursing homes are facing related to workforce recruitment and retention.  These tools were designed to assist nursing home leadership in recruiting and hiring the right people as well as training and retaining those staff members once they are on board. We believe you will find these tools valuable in your journey to strengthening your workforce!

Please take a look at the included resources for this toolkit below.
