From Challenge to Triumph – Employee of the Month and Innovative Staffing Strategies

In recent years, a recurring concern voiced by our clientele revolves around the growing challenge of sourcing and retaining top-tier talent. It seems a convergence of various factors has brewed what can only be described as a ‘Perfect Storm’ in maintaining operational momentum with a fully staffed team. Amidst this storm, we’ve been proactively devising strategies to address the talent deficit plaguing our clients. One such initiative involves tapping into a valuable resource often overlooked: retirees.

By reintegrating retired personnel into the workforce on a part-time basis, we’ve witnessed a tangible alleviation of staffing shortages for our clients. The feedback we’ve received underscores the manifold advantages of this approach. Returning retirees bring with them not only a wealth of experience but also a refreshing positivity and adaptability that can be instrumental during periods of flux. Moreover, their reentry into the workforce often necessitates minimal to no training, enabling a seamless integration into existing operations.

This month, we’re delighted to spotlight a shining example of the efficacy of this strategy: our Employee of the Month. Their dedication and contribution serve as a testament to the invaluable role that returning retirees can play in bolstering organizational resilience amidst staffing challenges

March Employee of the Month is Janet S. “Her supervisor said Janet knows how short they are on trained permanent staff and is doing this to help even though she could be enjoying retirement full-time. Janet has picked up any shift we have asked her to work, and she has assisted in special projects which utilizes her expertise. We could not be functioning at the level we currently are without her. Janet was an exceptional team member before retirement and continues to do so as your team member.”

 

Thank you, Janet, for being a fantastic employee!!

In Support of Seniors

At Specialized/CHS, we believe in the power of community and supporting initiatives that make a real difference in people’s lives. That’s why we were thrilled to recently attend an event in support of Twilight Wish, an organization dedicated to celebrating seniors and making their dreams come true.  Think of it as Make a Wish, but for our beloved seniors who have spent a lifetime enriching our communities with their wisdom and experience.  The event we attended was nothing short of heartwarming. Twilight Wish goes above and beyond to ensure that every senior’s dream is fulfilled.

As a company deeply committed to giving back, we were honored to support such a meaningful cause.  We believe in the importance of cherishing our seniors and recognizing the invaluable contributions they have made throughout their lives. Supporting organizations like Twilight Wish allows us to show our gratitude and appreciation in a tangible way.

Thank you to Tricia Pritchard and the entire Twilight Wish team for their dedication to spreading joy and making dreams come true for seniors. We look forward to continuing our support for this wonderful cause and making a difference in the lives of our seniors, one wish at a time.
