Staffing is one of these components. We all know that health care is already suffering from a limited workforce and that staff turnover costs a lot of money. In 2013, it was estimated that nurse turnover costs between $42,000 and $64,000 per departure. This cost goes up when you consider how many staff you employ and your rate of turnover. These are significant costs, suggesting considerable effort should be made to address turnover and retention issues.1 In this 5-hour conference, speakers will focus on talent acquisition, retention and succession planning. Attendees will look at stress and how reducing stress for staff can help employee retention and overall satisfaction for staff and those they care for. This session will also help attendees consider the role organizational ethics plays in creating an organizational culture where core values and principals and ethical analysis form the bedrock for decision-making from bedside to board room. The result is a collaborative atmosphere that where staff feel valued and remain enthusiastically engaged in their work and in carrying out the mission of the organization. 1 Frederick Morgeson, Ph.D., Recruiting to reduce turnover in LTC, McKnight s, November 6, 2016, For more information about this conference, registration and continuing education, visit our website or call us at (518) DATE & LOCATION Saturday, June 10, 2017 Hilton New Orleans Riverside Two Poydras St. New Orleans, LA PRESENTERS Joan Wetzel Director, Human Resources and Organizational Development, Episcopal Retirement Services Alfred W.
