The Secret to Hiring and Retaining Case Workers During Unprecedented Times

Hiring and retaining healthcare workers was hard even before the COVID-19 pandemic. But, by the end of 2021, at least 20 percent of healthcare employees had quit their jobs because they felt burned out or demoralized. Up to 75 percent of them reported symptoms of mental health conditions like PTSD and depression.

Despite these trends, some healthcare organizations have successfully overcome in-service training challenges by adapting to the new normal. And, by working with Online Training Providers, healthcare organizations can effectively manage their caseloads instead of turning away cases due to staffing shortages. 

Common Recruitment and In-Service Training Challenges

Recruitment and ongoing employee training can present challenges to HR professionals in healthcare. Some of the most common difficulties include:

• Lengthy hiring processes that can require up to six in-person meetings.
• Abundant paperwork that takes a lot of time for prospective hires to complete and HR to process.
• Competition from other jobs that pay similar wages (sometimes without the stress that comes from working in healthcare’s high-stakes, fast-paced environment).
• Language barriers that prevent employees from completing their training.

The unprecedented times of a pandemic have only heightened these and other concerns. But, healthcare organizations no longer need to turn away cases due to staffing shortages, because showd.me provides simple and effective solutions for hiring, developing, and retaining employees while staying fully compliant.

showd.me makes it easy to hire and retain caseworkers. Applicants can be trained and ready for their first case within hours instead of weeks.

Upon logging into the showd.me platform, each employee can easily fill out onboarding paperwork (w-2s, direct deposit, availability, and more), sign paperwork, review orientation presentations and handbooks, attend live or recorded video sessions, and more. No app is needed to access the platform, which eliminates technical barriers that can make onboarding even more challenging. By simplifying the process, more new hires can get up to speed and start caring for patients.
