Your Agency Starts With…
Chapter 1 of 'From Healthy Aides to Healthier Agency'
Get Rid of Onboarding Headaches
In the next chapters we will review the annual and pre-employment requirements needed to adhere to a higher standard which in turn will lead to more referrals and an increase in cases.
When we started our research in writing this guide we interviewed, consulted and surveyed hundreds of existing home care agencies just like yours. We asked about their biggest pains, headaches and challenges that stopped them from getting to the next level. 
Just to be clear, the next level is you staffing and receiving double the cases you have today within half the time so you still have enough energy to focus on client engagement and running your agency. Sound about right?
Turns out that over 80% of home care agency owners just like you are frustrated with their employee onboarding process.
From recruiting to interviewing, getting home care workers exam results and training them; it’s all one big headache.
One of the biggest stand stills throughout the onboarding process is knowing what to test new hires for to make sure they are a qualified candidates and waiting for exam results. If exams take too long to come in the agency runs the risk of losing the candidate to another agency and then having to start the process all over again.
According to a survey conducted by the National Association of Home Care & Hospice, “It is no surprise then, that 83 percent of the companies in the survey interview at least weekly and 15 percent interview daily.
With the average home care agency hiring dozens of workers a month that equals to 30 hours of interviews a week, 7-10 business days wasted waiting for their exams to clear to get them assigned and up $7,000 wasted if you need to restaff a case because your home care worker decided (last minute) to go with another agency. Come to think about it, that’s a lot of wasted resources.
It’s time to break away from old habits and be the change you seek.
Especially if it could help you place home care workers 4 days earlier every time you onboard a new employee. It’s time to streamline your onboarding process and loose the extra weight that is keeping you from excelling and dominating the home care industry.
And, that extra weight is the unnecessarily large amount of money and time spent on onboarding your home care workers. It’s keeping you from achieving bigger initiatives.
We want you flexible, nimble and heavy with profits not with costs.
So, enclosed we’ll review with you the pre-employment requirements needed to streamline your onboarding so you can soon start focusing on catching bigger fish before you know it. Let’s get started!
