Caregiver Tracks

“Meeting Emotional Needs of Residents”

The goal of this workshop is to promote the use of fundamental tools to meet and enhance the emotional needs of residents, who may face physical as well as emotional obstacles in their lives

Essentials of Body Mechanics for Healthcare workers

At work, you perform many tasks every day that could cause injury. These include repetitive lifting, prolonged standing, bending, reaching, pushing, and pulling. Protect yourself by using good body mechanics . Moving your body correctly is a skill that requires your constant attention. How well you perfect the skill can mean the difference between a fatigued or injured back and a healthy back.

Beating and Preventing Caregiver Burnout

The stresses and strains of working in the healthcare industry can take their toll on even the strongest personality. From persistent patients to strict regulations, healthcare workers are constantly facing challenges both big and small, physical and emotional. At some point, it is more than likely that the pressures of your job will get to you and you will wonder, “Is it worth it?” Burnout can get the best of you, but only if you let it. Learn the signs of burnout and how to avoid healthcare burnout.

Manager Tracks    

Session One:  Motivate For Results

One of the most difficult tasks that most managers face is how to motivate their employees.  Surprisingly studies indicate that money is “not” the #1 motivator. In this session, you will discover  the causes of a lack of motivation, identify the motivators for your employees, and learn strategies to improve employee motivation. 

Session Two:  Dealing Effectively With Difficult People

Have you assessed the cost of a difficult employee?  How about all the other people you interact with on a daily basis, especially your residents, their families and your vendors?   Difficult people cause conflict resulting in lost productivity, lost revenue, miscommunication, turnover and stress.In this session,  you will get wise and practical tips to help you determine why people are difficult, recognize how your thinking style affects your ability to handle difficult people, and learn special strategies to cope with these challenging people.

Session Three:  Communicate For Success

Effective leadership requires knowing how to communicate  with all types of people.  Miscommunication occurs  55% of the time.  In this session we will evaluate your communication and personality style, determine how to communicate with different personalities effectively, and learn how to communicate your needs and expectations clearly and concisely to ensure understanding.
