Your caregivers are being recruited by the plant down the road.
Indiana is one of the most manufacturing-dense states in the country, and that changes the staffing problem in a way a lot of national speakers miss. A certified nursing assistant in Indiana is not only weighing another facility. She is weighing a plant floor job that pays more, has no license to maintain, no state survey, and no family calling at nine at night. When that is the alternative, the reason someone stays in care work cannot be money, because money is not the offer you are winning on. It has to be the work itself and the person they report to.
Chris runs national healthcare staffing organizations and sees which Indiana roles sit open longest and why. He has keynoted state association conferences in eleven states, including LeadingAge Illinois and health care associations in Iowa, Montana, South Dakota, and Colorado.
