For a lot of your people, work is the only community they have here.
Nevada is a state of arrivals. A large share of the workforce moved here from somewhere else, often recently, which means the usual assumption behind retention advice does not hold. In most places you can lean on the fact that people are rooted in the town, that their family is nearby and their church and their kids’ school hold them in place. In Las Vegas and Reno, plenty of your employees do not have that. The shift is their social circle. The team is the closest thing to a community they have found so far.
Layer on a genuine twenty-four hour economy, where nights and weekends are not the exception but a huge share of the schedule, and the person whose small decisions determine whether someone stays is a supervisor at two in the morning. That is a very specific leadership ask, and it is what the session is built around. Chris runs national healthcare staffing organizations and has keynoted state association conferences in eleven states, including LeadingAge Illinois and health care associations in Iowa, Montana, South Dakota, and Colorado.
