Wednesday, April 4
While some of today’s workforce is made up of deep-rooted, dependable staff, a larger number of positions are now a revolving door of employee turnover. Workforce thought leader, Cara Silletto, will share more insight on why staffing is so challenging today and additional ways to gain greater staffing stability. Join us to learn how to slow the revolving door, more effectively manage the impending shorter-term workforce, and maximize the time you have with each employee.
This course provides a complete understanding of what the challenges are during a sudden incident of violence, and more importantly, it provides the tools necessary to correct them.
