Shift Your Thinking!
Contrary to what some believe, home care shift scheduling is measurable! Both effectiveness and trends in scheduling can be quantified via KPIs (key performance indicators) that maximize staff utilization. As your agency matures and evolves, it is imperative to monitor KPIs and capitalize on the lessons they teach. The scheduling module in your operating system should be a tool, not just to optimize operations, but also to gather the data needed to produce useful KPIs. Analyzing these KPIs allows measurement of scheduling efficiency, identification of opportunities, and creation of actionable plans that elevate scheduling effectiveness to new levels.
In this session you will learn:
- KPI Datapoints – what factors are important?
- Suggested KPIs – why should we care?
- KPI Mining – where do we find the data?
- KPI Analysis – how should KPIs be interpreted?
- Actionable KPIs – when do we make changes?
Think of every shift on your schedule is an opportunity for all. Clients receive care. Caregivers earn a living. Your business accrues revenue. That’s why it’s critical to realize the full scheduling potential of your operating system.

Understanding The Impact Of Poverty On Home Care Workers
Despite the high demand for direct care workers overall, their wages remain low—the median hourly wage for this workforce was $13.56 in 2020. While “successfully employed”, these workers are underemployed which means their positions do not meet their abilities and
daily living needs. Low wages combined with a high rate of part-time work make it challenging for direct care workers to financially support themselves and their families. Given the focus on long-term care and the direct care workforce generated
by the pandemic, it’s imperative to refine direct care jobs and strengthen and stabilize the workforce. If you want to increase employee performance and productivity, retain the right team
members, and have an employer brand that helps you attract more of the right talent. You need to join this session to understand your employees.
