SUMMARY:Workshop Series: Surefire Retention Strategies When You Can't Compete on Pay
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: May 21\, May 28\, June 4 and June 11; all sessions 9 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. \nLocation: Online via Zoom \nIntended Audience: Human Resources\, Supervisors & Managers\, Executive Leadership \nLearning Tracks: Workforce Development & Staff Engagement\, Leadership & Organizational Development \nFunding pressures. State restrictions on compensation. A revolving door with frequent turnover. The impact of lower retention rates is\, ultimately\, that your organization can’t make the impact it wants to in your community. \nIn this 4-part series\, we’ll examine the issues that impair your impact. Better yet\, we’ll offer real\, practical\, tactical\, no-cost solutions that you can implement immediately to improve the employee experience and boost your retention rates. Yes\, you can retain employees even though they could find jobs elsewhere that pay more money! \nOur solutions will be evidence-based and field-tested. Our interactive workshops will include idea exchanges with others who face exactly the same challenges that you do. You’ll have a takeaway assignment each week + job aids to help you get started with each strategy. \nAttendance at all 4 sessions is required to receive a certificate of completion. This session has been submitted for 6 PDCs for SHRM. \nPlease note that registrations are for the complete series. \nRegister Here! \n  \nSessions: \n– Session I: What to Stop Doing… It’s Backfiring Despite Your Good Intentions \nYour company culture has taken a hit post-pandemic and – despite your best intentions – it’s been really difficult to bounce back. Low retention and low engagement are constant headaches. Managers have given up and are inadvertently exacerbating the problem. In an effort to protect or spare employees\, your managers could actually be depriving them of opportunities that would improve morale and boost retention! \n– Session II: Servant Leadership: It May Not Be What You Think It Is \nThe term “servant leadership” is so appealing that many adopt it or favor it without fully understanding it. Those misunderstandings can be costly to leaders who exhibit behaviors that are overly protective and deprive employees of opportunities to learn and grow. Learn how to embed the ideals of servant leadership in your company culture without compromising employee engagement or business growth. Find out what’s really needed in management and how talent development and delegating are the missing links that so many overlook when they attempt servant leadership. \n– Session III: The Links between Employee Engagement & Organizational Impact \nThe most effective and highly esteemed managers know that their job is about both managing work AND leading people. They develop the skills that set them apart and unleash engagement. In this workshop\, we’ll focus on the specific skills that highly effectively managers rely on to enable\, ennoble\, empower\, engage and inspire employees. We’ll also talk about the HR practices and company-wide mixed messages that inadvertently inhibit engagement. \n– Session IV: Putting People First to Build Organizational Strength \nOrganizations grow when people grow. People grow when they feel rooted in an organization. It may seem like a “chicken or egg” question: Which comes first? People grow because they stay or people stay because they grow? Research tells us that people stay in organizations they feel emotionally connected to… organizations that give them a sense of belonging and purpose… organizations that invest in their growth… organizations that dignify them\, solicit their ideas\, encourage them to use their voice… organizations where they feel trusted and valued. \n  \nPresented by: \nDeb Calvert\, President\, People First Productivity Solutions\nFounder\, People First Leadership Academy\nAuthor\, DISCOVER Questions® for Connections\, Clarity & Control \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nCost: \nMember price: $200  $175 (complete series price) \nNon-member price: $500  $475 (complete series price) \nPlease note that registrations are for the complete series. \n  \n  \nCancellation Policy: Reimbursement only for cancellations received at least 5 business days before the event. \nConfirmation Policy: We only send confirmations via email.

SUMMARY:Provider Member Webinar: Behind the Scenes of Dementia Care - The Real Work of Dementia Caregiving Across Care Networks
DESCRIPTION:Date and Time: May 12; 1 p.m. – 3 p.m. \nLocation: Online via Zoom \n**Please note this session is hosted by Conversations for Caring. Any questions regarding the session should be directed to lbulkley@glss.net. \nThis presentation seeks to expose the invisible yet highly coordinated care delivery work that family and friend caregivers perform across networks to provide care to people living with dementia—work that is best understood as a sociotechnical system with dynamic goals\, shifting demands\, and interdependent roles. \nDr. Werner will describe how this work reaches beyond hands‑on tasks to include continuous information management\, coordination\, and environment/workflow redesign\, as caregivers navigate behavioral and psychological symptoms\, assess credibility and utility of information\, and deploy real‑world strategies to overcome work‑system constraints. The presentation will map the caregiving work system\, illustrate common constraints and the practical strategies caregivers already use\, and translate these insights into concrete design implications that recognize caregivers as essential partners in care delivery for people living with dementia. \nThis session offers 2 CEUs for NASW\, LICSW\, LDAC\, LMHC and Nursing. \nRegister Here! \n  \nPresented by: \nNicole Werner\, PhD \n  \nCost: \n$35  \n**Group discounts available
