High employee turnover is one of the greatest challenges facing
long-term care communities today. Without consistent staffing,
programs and their residents greatly suffer the negative
consequences of inadequate resident care, unnecessary expenses, and
inefficient operations. To curb this trend of low employee
retention, this useful guide will help long-term care
administrators develop, implement, and maintain an effective
orientation program for all levels of staff. By providing new
employees with proper training from the moment they step in the
door, long-term care communities and other programs can ensure that
they are nurturing skilled caregivers who are dedicated to their
organization and their residents for the long haul. Using a
person-centered focus, this guide outlines all of the necessary
steps in creating an orientation program that works. Starting with
establishing the long-term care organization's needs, the guide
then goes on to explain what pertinent information to include, how,
when, and where to present it, and how to develop a schedule and
timeframe for training. The guide also stresses the importance of
creating a mentorship program between new and existing employees
and provides valuable insight on how to develop and sustain such a
program. Other important topics include testing skills in new
employees, administering evaluations, building relationships,
defining the community's culture, and keeping the focus on the
residents. Over the course of 12 chapters, this guide shows leaders
that effective orientation program lasts far beyond the first day.
By creating and implementing a thorough, person-centered
orientation and training program, facilities will not only foster
the growth of their newest employees but also give them the skills,
knowledge, confidence, and support to successfully adapt to a new
workplace. This comfort and confidence easily translates into the
delivery of the highest quality of care to residents and a lasting
dedication to one's organization. Notable features include:
