Caregivers are usually so busy with the tasks of caregiving that they rarely reflect upon the significance of their activities, including how caring changes their identity: their view of self, their relationships with others, and their place in society. This thoughtful and inspiring presentation draws upon research to explain caregiving as a phenomenon of social science. Knowledge gained from the discussion will offer caregivers a framework for 1) processing their experiences and 2) developing the resilience needed to continue supporting the people who depend on them.
As a family caregiver, do you adhere to a fixed mindset, or have you adopted a growth mindset? This presentation shows how mindset adjustments are among the most important ways for you to effect positive change in your caregiving experience. Mindset adjustments reside at the heart of The Caregiver Mindshift Model, which depicts cognitive stages that loosely align with one’s length of experience in family caregiving. The Caregiver Mindshift is a process of learning, growing, and adapting to the emerging circumstances associated with your loved one’s health condition.
How can your organization find and keep the best care professionals in an increasingly competitive labor market? The answer lies in 1) acquiring a deeper understanding of the lived experience of your employees and then 2) aligning your organization’s HR efforts in the most commensurate way. This moving presentation breaks down caregiving into four component parts and reviews the implications for the employment of care professionals.
Today’s workforce crisis makes it vitally important for leaders of care organizations to strengthen their recruitment and retention efforts. Rather than delivering a list of workforce management tactics, this presentation offers a paradigm view of organizational culture that is anchored in research and targeted to the context of caregiving providers. Leaders will learn how to assess their organizational culture and initiate culture-related changes to produce greater job satisfaction among their care professionals.
