\n<\/h2>\n

CLEVELAND, Dec. 04, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — OnShift\u00ae<\/sup>, a leader in\u00a0human capital management software for post-acute care and senior living<\/a>, today announced the results of its latest Workforce 360 Survey<\/em>. This survey details the perspectives of over 2100 long-term care, senior living and healthcare professionals on the top workforce challenges facing the industry today, as well as the impact COVID-19 is having on their employees and their organizations. Across all demographics, finding and hiring qualified job candidates (67 percent) was reported as the top workforce challenge, followed by employee turnover (57 percent).<\/p>\n

This is a slight change from OnShift\u2019s 2019 Workforce 360 <\/em>S<\/em>urvey<\/em>, in which employee turnover was reported as the top challenge and finding and hiring staff was ranked second. This suggests that while turnover remains a major issue, hiring qualified candidates has become even more difficult throughout the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Respondents also recognize the impact this crisis is having on the lives of their staff. Employee burnout (80 percent) and fear and safety concerns due to COVID-19 (65 percent) were reported as the top personal challenges facing the workforce today.<\/p>\n

In response to both the struggles they face organizationally, and the growing challenges facing their workforce, respondents indicate their organizations have prioritized investments in technology to better support their staff. Employee scheduling (70 percent) and employee communication (68 percent) top the list as high-priority technology investments, followed by employee health monitoring (58 percent) and employee rewards and recognition (51 percent).<\/p>\n

\u201cProviders recognize the tremendous sacrifices their employees have made during this unprecedented time, and they understand the impact these sacrifices have had on their team\u2019s well-being,\u201d stated Ray Desrochers, President and COO at OnShift. \u201cIn response, they are working to quickly adopt new technologies that will help to streamline and simplify their staff\u2019s day-to-day work experiences while simultaneously adapting many of their programs and policies to better meet the long-term needs of their workers. We are excited to be uniquely positioned to support this important industry transformation.\u201d<\/p>\n
