During those times when the census is fluctuating and you have the need to keep your productivity percentages up-what options do you have? Administration can reduce the hours for current employees or utilize Preferred Healthcare Registry's Employee Exchange Program. You decide which is the best for your facility!
Reducing the hours of current staff is one option. If a facility chooses to reduce hours for current employees, those employees may begin to look for another position and jeopardize your ability to retain your current team. Reductions in hours, like layoffs, create a sense of disappointment and sometimes fear in employees. Your employees may also need that complete paycheck to meet their personal budget needs. These impacts may have them looking to pick up hours at another facility, filling out their paperwork, becoming attached, working more hours for them than for you, and even potentially leaving your company ultimately costing you that rehab professional you worked so hard to find.
Your Best Option is to utilize Preferred Healthcare Registry's "Employee Exchange Program." This cutting edge program is designed to help you solve the problem of retaining your loyal and motivated therapists even when you have to cut or eliminate hours. Our program allows your employees access to short-term assignments at other facilities while you remain their permanent employer! As your vendor, Preferred Healthcare Registry staffs your therapists locally so they can be returned to you either immediately or if they are on an assignment, within a 48-hour notice. During these times, your rehab professional would fill out our paperwork, and be our employee for the purposes of payroll, tax, and workers' compensation purposes. Your therapist's relationship remains built with you and with Preferred Healthcare Registry...not your competitor. As your business partner, we are dedicated to helping your facility! Therefore, this program was designed to increase your retention while also increasing your productivity!
Retain your permanent employer status and gain the "win-win" option of controlling your budget and keeping your employees working, happy, and motivated.
