High turnover (or low-performing) teams are usually struggling with data--either they aren't completing it properly or they're doing it but the results look bad. So how could data help fix things? Most data is outcome data. It's a lagging measure .

Ep. 19 - Give frontline supervisors more skills, not more trainings 17:59

hace 11 weeks17:59

It's no secret: successful frontline supervisors are essential for your organization's success. And to be successful, they not only need the ability to do the frontline care but they also need to be able to MANAGE PEOPLE. Unfortunately, when situations arise in which frontline supervisors are struggling to manage their direct reports, they often are assigned more trainings with little results to show for it. In this episode, Nate unpacks what to do INSTEAD of just assigning more trainings and how to actually build people management skills for your frontline supervisors. Think mentorship, coaching, and feedback. It takes a little more front-end effort but the ROI is worth the extra upfront investment. Ready to level-up your staff retention strategy?
