CAADS WEBINAR: Reframing the Roles of Leaders and Front-Line Staff to Strengthen Employee Retention & Engagement

Wednesday, August 24, 2022
2:00 pm3:15 pm
WEBINAR

WHAT WE WILL COVER
30 years ago, the “culture change” movement began to overcome the 3 Plagues of people living in nursing
homes…Helplessness, Loneliness, and Boredom. The paradigm shift in this movement was in prioritizing the
elders’ living experiences and well-being and reframing the perspective of employees’ roles in achieving that
outcome. Today, these same 3 plagues exist with the people in the workforce, which are negatively impacting
employee retention and engagement. To overcome this, leaders must make another paradigm shift, this time
in prioritizing their employees’ working experiences and well-being and reframing the perspective of their role
as a leader in achieving that outcome.

Learning Objectives
In this session, participants will:
1. Understand how the 3 Plagues of Helplessness, Loneliness and Boredom are impacting staff, resulting in employee disengagement and the current staffing crisis.
