The key to improving staff retention and job satisfaction
Lone working can exacerbate the challenges faced by home care workers on a daily basis, which can affect staff retention. The lack of access to appropriate technology can perpetuate these difficulties. The primary challenges typically arise from poor communication and the lack of real-time information. Staff can experience heightened stress levels, reduced morale, job dissatisfaction and a sense of lack of support.
These issues can lead to disorganised and inefficient processes, posing potential safety hazards to both staff and service users. Consequently, many organisations encounter difficulties with high employee turnover. As a consequence of these factors, managers frequently find themselves obligated to dedicate a substantial amount of time to the repetitive task of recruiting and onboarding new team members.
Digital solutions such as CareLineLive provide a means to tackle issues related to staff turnover. They achieve this by enabling efficient communication, accurate tracking and enhancing the safety of both staff and clients.
