Session B  – Hiring and Retaining Talent in Turbulent Times: How to Find & Keep the People you Want,  Led by Gigi Blair and Becca Pearce

Have you bent over backwards to accommodate an employee and they still gave notice? Have you made an offer, the candidate accepted the job and their start date, yet never showed up to start work? Have you hired someone thinking they were going to be perfect, only to find out they weren’t what you expected? Have you had the perfect employee break your heart with a surprising resignation?

A fundamental shift occurred in the employee-employer relationship during Covid, and Human Resource experts agree that we are far from the end of the story. This dynamic, coupled with the high numbers of health-care staff that exited the field after Covid, indeed creates challenging staffing issues. If you are struggling with finding the right support for your business, you are not alone.

In this interactive workshop, we will define the current landscape, address common questions from business owners, dive into industry-specific challenges as identified in the ALCA Mastermind program and share best-practices. Walk away with immediate actions you can implement to hire the right person for your team and keep them engaged.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the current employee landscape and how it impacts your business
2. Learn key ways to identify and entice the right candidates to your organization
3. Create a hiring plan for your organization    Sample Clincial Case Scenario  Sample AA JD and Duties   JD_FT Care Manager

Description of program:

This provocative and highly engaging presentation will discuss the ways in which aging has been viewed negatively in our society. Unfortunately, unhappiness has been attached to aging. The language we use to describe aging and the labels we attach to the challenges we face as a result of aging have a significant impact on our attitudes toward the experience of aging.

How can we create conditions under which people can thrive throughout the aging process? The presenter will challenge the participants to ask the question – is aging a problem to be solved or a human experience to be embraced?

Learning objectives:

At the conclusion of this program participants will be able to:

1. Explain how the language we use can be a barrier to positive aging
2. List developmental tasks of late life
3. Discuss the impact of framing dementia as a disability versus a disease

Number of CE’s requested: 1.00 CE

Description of program:

This interactive discussion with the authors of the book “ The Complete Family Guide to Dementia: Everything you need to know to help your parent and yourself” will address the unique challenges adult children face in caring for their parents with dementia.

Adult children are extraordinarily stressed and burnt out because dementia so much harder to care for than other diseases. The care is both lengthy and intensive, there’s a lack of cooperation from the loved one (and often from other family members), there’s a lack of social support and understanding, the disease is unpredictable and embarrassing, and adult children feel guilty.

Families don’t treat dementia as a “real” disease. The medical system tends not to prepare them, plus it’s easy to care for at first, and no hospitalizations or immediate decisions are necessary at the beginning. So families tend not to plan and to “take it as it comes,” which is a recipe for disaster.

These experiences of adult children lead directly to difficulties in working with professionals. The authors will promote understanding of the adult child experience and discuss how professionals can use this understanding to solve problems and interact more effectively with families.

Learning objectives:

At the conclusion of this program participants will be able to:

1. Describe why caring for a loved one with dementia is more difficult than caring for a loved one with other diseases
2. Identify issues that exist between professionals and families who are involved in the care of a person with dementia
3. Explain why it is so difficult for adult children to turn over the role of caregiving for a parent with dementia
4. Identify the biggest mistake adult children make while caring for their parent with dementia and explain why they make it.

Number of CE’s requested: 1.5 CE

Description of program:

One of the most serious challenges is how to manage elders that need nursing care amidst the bed shortage we are experiencing throughout the New England area. Bed reductions and caregiver shortages have made finding placement in a long-term care setting even more challenging than it was prior to the pandemic. Elders are often stranded in hospital or rehab settings while awaiting placement, creating tension for all of us, but particularly for hospital case managers who are charged with finding placement. This highly experienced and interdisciplinary panel will discuss the following questions: How did we get here?  How will we care for these elders? Where will they be cared for? How is this being addressed by legislators and policy makers? How can we work together to create innovative ideas and support each other? How can families, patient advocates and care managers help with this process?

Learning objectives (2-3):

At the conclusion of this program participants will be able to:

1. Describe legislative process and how to effectively advocate for older adults with their elected officials
