Some key points discussed cover the following:The improved visibility of home care as a result of Covid-19The negative impacts of the pandemic on the home care work forceIdeas on how to raise the profile of caregiving jobsThe reality that the agencies with caregivers are the agencies who will grow and thriveHow to compete by being the "best home care employer in your region"Best practice ideas** My favorite of Anne-Lise's suggestions was to reach out to each member of your caregiver team who  work fewer than 35 hours in a week to see if they'd like to work more hours. This initiative has the benefits that 1) you can increase your work force capacity by up to 40% with no hiring fees, and 2) the personal phone call will show caregivers that you care for them and will engender loyalty. Born in France and raised in the UK since age 7, Anne-List came to the US as an adult and as a military-bride.

When looking at census documents for our nation's foster care system, there is one glaring piece of data that is impossible to overlook: Black children are over-represented and Black foster parents are under-represented.  Black individuals in America comprise approximately 15% of the entire population, yet in foster care, more than 50% of the children are Black. There are significant contributors to this disparity: systemic problems, educational, training, and informational gaps, fatherlessness, criminal rehabilitation practices, etc. And as varied as the causes, a variety of approaches is needed to help re-balance the ratio to more accurately reflect society.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/wearetheecho/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/wearetheecho/support
