Delivered for the Nebraska Health Care Association membership, this session lays out what actually keeps people in a building: whether they feel supported, whether the work connects to something, whether anyone notices when they do it well, whether they have relationships worth showing up for, and whether they can see themselves growing.Chris speaks as a sitting operator who competes for clinical talent every day across three organizations, not as a consultant describing the problem from outside. The takeaways are behaviors a director of nursing or an administrator can use on their next shift, not a program that needs budget approval.

The Nebraska Health Care Association represents skilled nursing and assisted living communities across the state, advocating for members and providing the education and professional development their teams rely on.NEHCA published this session as an on-demand bonus program for its convention, carrying continuing education credit, and set out the SPARK framework and its learning objectives on its own convention site.
