Workshop Overview:

In the current climate, it is crucial employers in aged care stand out as a desirable place to work. Recruitment and Retention is now even more challenging with severe skills shortages because of burn out, a surge of baby boomers retiring, struggling to attract the Next Generation, and trying to define a strong Employee Value Proposition. 

So, how do you attract, engage and retain desirable talent? The answers lie in having the WOW FACTOR – a framework developed by Laura Sutherland which contains practical, actionable steps to being a stand-out Employer of Choice.
