Corporate takes care of training...

Dignity First can work with your corporate program to tailor the training to your specific needs.  We can help to determine how best to use the training programs already in place, to update information, or to analyze your company's training needs.  Dignity First offers a way for you to reduce staff absences, keep up with training without waiting for a scheduled event, and reduce transportation costs.  

Many materials developed or used by corporate entities may not be specific to the issues of a particular facility.  This can make one facility look less effective than another, but for reasons not related to actual care.  Dignity First can tailor your training to the real needs of your particular staff.

We don't have extra money for training...

Dignity First understands the bottom line issues in long term care.  Many people are unaware of the return on investment in training, and we can assist you in finding the resources to achieve your long term goals of a well-trained staff.  We can help you develop innovative ways to provide training that is more effective and costs less in the long run.

We can't spare our staff for extra training...

Dignity First has a number of methods to reduce total employee downtime for training.              E-learning streategies allow training to be conducted any time of day or night, and can be more effective and efficient than traditional classroom methods.  There may be no need to purchase computers or other equipment. 

Our turnover is too high for that kind of investment...

It's common knowledge that training reduces staff turnover.  It costs between $2,000 to $5,000 to replace a direct care worker.  Dignity First can help you determine the return on investment that will improve your bottom line in the long run. 

Our staff are already well trained...

Excellent! ...but are you sure? Let Dignity First help you with a Performance Analysis to determine the effectiveness of the training you already do.  All training gets stale, and updates or newer teaching methods may be all you need.
