I transferred into my current position as manager of a small nursing home two years ago. After my first meeting with the frontline caregivers---nursing staff, orderlies, etc. Wholesale Kyle Palmieri Jersey , I was very concerned. The caregivers were clearly unhappy in their positions. They liked their work, they enjoyed caring for the residents, but there was some other factor at work here, creating a climate of uneasiness and a culture of apprehension in this small and close-knit group residence.
I spoke with various residents. They were concerned as well. They felt that they were receiving good care, but many mentioned an unhappy mood that continued day to day. It affected some more than others, and they expressed a wish for brighter Wholesale Nico Hischier Jersey , more upbeat surroundings. A long time resident told me that things used to be different, and she had felt much better, physically and mentally, when her nurses and aides were happier.
That, in a nutshell, was what troubled me most. Anyone involved in health care knows that patients Wholesale Taylor Hall Jersey , in this case nursing home residents, are much happier and healthier and make better progress when their caregivers are satisfied in their positions and careers.
I decided to conduct an employee survey, mainly for the caregivers, to give them the opportunity to vent. I hadn't been able to find out much verbally, so I hoped that the survey would give them the opportunity to reveal the sources of their discontent. Then we could proceed to improve the situation.
Among other issues, the survey results revealed that morale was low because the staff felt stifled by regulations. The rigid rules needed to be examined and perhaps modified to empower caregivers to a greater degree. They were more satisfied when they felt able to improve the quality of life for their patients.
Some other solutions we used to change the culture included:
* Providing educational opportunities for caregivers to update and expand their skills
* Adopting a new conflict management policy - developed with extensive caregiver feedback
* Reevaluating our financial policies to free up funds to hire more caregivers to ease the burden of understaffed areas.
As a result Wholesale Will Butcher Jersey , we were able to engage our caregivers in creating a workplace culture that emphasizes the value of each human being and a climate of respect. The caregivers are satisfied, and the residents are happier and healthier.
