Program Description:"Managers tend to blame their turnover problems on everything under the sun, while ignoring the crux of the
matter: people don't leave jobs; they leave managers”. Travis Bradberry
Burnout for C-suite executives presents unique challenges. The two programs in this specially-priced package explore how burnout specifically manifests in the C-suite,
considering factors like high-stakes decision-making and the struggle to balance personal and professional life. Participants are taught how to recognize
early signs of burnout, both in themselves, their peers and employees.
Specific practical strategies for managing stress and workload, such as effective time management, delegation, and goal setting are reviewed.
These programs also emphasize developing a resilient mindset and enhancing emotional intelligence, which are crucial for coping with pressures and setbacks.
A supportive culture within the workplace is essential. This includes fostering a culture that prioritizes mental well-being and encourages
open communication. The role of the C-suite employee in leading by example is essential. All these topics were reviewed in an interactive fun environment at TAHCH's Winter Conference and are now available online to
help you meet the challenges of burn out in your workplace and your own life.

Program Description: Many Texas home health agencies are currently dealing with a staffing
shortage and also anticipating a greater health workforce shortage in the coming years. Employee churn – which can lead to canceled/rescheduled
appointments and undermine an agency’s ability to take on new patients – can lead to a breakdown in the continuum of care, weaker overall outcomes,
and an increased risk of readmissions. Learn how implementing a virtual care platform can help your agency better utilize in-demand specialists and
available staff while being able to provide better – meaning, more timely and higher quality – care to their patients.

Program Description: As a home care provider, planning is important because you have to make sure your agency and its staff members
have the supplies needed to safely care for your clients in times of emergency. When planning for contingencies, home care providers must consider a variety of hazards and events
that could impact their patients. Hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, wildfires, radiation releases, chemical exposures, seasonal and pandemic influenza, and acts
of terrorism are just a few examples. There are 5 phases of emergency preparedness that must be in place. In this presentation you learn the simple measures that home care providers
can implement to increase the personal readiness of their clients and themselves. Additionally, you become familiar with existing emergency response plans, processes, and procedures
in both the workplace and community. Once you are armed with the necessary resources, help your clients, their family members, and other caregivers to be prepared, assemble a kit,
make a plan and be informed.
