The changes within Residential Aged Care (RAC) continue. From 1st October 2024 the following changes are coming to the care minutes in RAC: 💠 10% of your service-level RN targets can now be achieved with care time provided by Enrolled Nurses (ENs) 💠 44 minutes of direct care will be provided by a Registered Nurse (RN) 💠 care minutes will increase to 215 minutes per resident sector wide Obviously the purpose behind these changes is to continue to enhance the quality of care for residents but perhaps now with softening the burden of work solely on RNs...... How will these changes affect your workplace as a facility manager? Will the changes hearld positive change for your workforce with the ability to utilise ENs? 📞 07 3337 5222 📧 [email protected] https://lnkd.in/gfy-63Hy

Strengthening Relationships 'Now More than Ever' has been a key message takeaway for me in the #RAP24 Conference. Ventia has been and continues to be in the movement, a journey for Reconciliation for a Nation to be reconciled in our commitment to ACTIONS towards a Reconciliation Australia. #Truthtelling #Equity and #Justice Our social Impact difference has created phenomenal change in Ventia's journey in Reconciliation. Our First Nations Suppliers and our relationships continue to increase - It is Our Commitment. Consequently our First Nations Suppliers Spend is also unquestionably supporting Blak Business growth. A Ventia initiative and commitment of ensuring we get it right, where we talk cultural safety of First Nations Employment and recognition of Eldership has been highlighted through the campaigning and project of the TRECCA Employment team. A bespoke First Nations Specialist in Employment supporting a trauma informed model of getting Mob into Jobs across the Ventia business and keeping Mob in Jobs through a Care model of conversations, education and partnerships with our Operations (Our Ally's) in the business. #Nowmorethanever Ventia is genuinely remaining brave to create transformational change, to lean into the hard conversations rather than leaning away #nowmorethanever. Ventia is a Reconciliation Action Plan Stretch Business where our ACTIONS mean connections, relationships, respect and Our Mob - People who remain the heart of our success. #HumanrightsUNDRIP #RAP24 Check out Ventia RAP https://lnkd.in/gcZMBfEx

First, thank you Eric Ng for the wonderful post. I have left and joined 7 different buildings with Amazon and this was by far the hardest decision to make. My fellow Vikings and AR colleagues. It is time I sail my ship to new and distant lands. I have accepted a role in the Sub Same Day Organization and I will be departing the shores of VGT1. Do not fret – if you would like to stay in touch, I encourage each and every one of you to bug me as much as you’d like. I am only a Slack, e-mail or carrier pigeon away.   I did want to highlight some VGT1 wins: #1 Launch in Building TPH for all 2021 and 2022 launches #2 Quality launch for all 2022 launches #2 Nail the Plan launch for all 2022 launches Largest Gen 9.4 site for total Volume in 2022 and 2023 Over 5,000 associates engaged with over 2,500 community service hours since launch #1 in Desert Region for Cost - 2022 and 2023 #2 in Desert Region for overall building (all Pillars) – 2022 and 2023 Official Public Tour Site for Las Vegas A Top Donation Site in Las Vegas This is by far my favorite – VGT1 has had: 56 Tier 1 to Tier 3 promotions in 2023 34 Salaried Leader (L4-L8) promotions in 2023 109 Tier 1 to Tier 3 promotions since launch 66 Salaried Leader (L4-L8) promotions since launch There will always be challenges and barriers to overcome, that is what differentiates Amazon from other companies. As Amazonians we challenge ourselves to continue to raise the bar, meet the bar and set that bar higher. The team here at VGT1 is a special group of leaders. There is so much talent and spirit to achieve more that there is no way that the Vikings will not be at the Top of the Region this year. I leave VGT1 in the capable hands.   I truly appreciate the experience VGT1 created with me and everything I have learned from the Vikings. Being a Viking has been my best Amazon experience and I will hold these memories close and think of them fondly.

xpenses in the aged care sector are a critical focus for organizations aiming to balance cost savings with high-quality care. Smaller and regional aged Aged care homes encounter unique challenges in cost management and government funding. Leveraging procurement specialists like S.T.A.R Procurement is key to swiftly identifying savings on various expenditure items. S.T.A.R Procurement offers tailored solutions, delivering tangible savings of up to 30% off baseline costs for organizations such as Healthia Limited, Tristar Medical, and Capitol Health. By cascading these savings to associated entities, procurement not only cuts costs but also aids in achieving strategic goals, enhancing efficiency, and ensuring compliance. Over the last 6 months, S.T.A.R Procurement has achieved significant savings in categories like stationery (25%), printing (30%), utilities (25%), and medical consumables (15%). Implementing procurement improvements is a straightforward process yielding substantial benefits without extensive consulting hours. External procurement support can provide a cost-effective boost to strategic objectives compared to internal resources.

The minimum employment period (probation framework) is the most under-utilised of all HR frameworks in small business. A time to manage a new starter up or out. Best practice is 3️⃣ formal meetings to assess, get feedback and hopefully set your new employee up to succeed! Do you manage it well? wattsnext Group Anita Dazzi Sel (Sue-Ellen) Watts Rebecca Armstrong Alisha McLeod Esteé Schultz Kerri Craig #leadership #HRConsultancy #HRCommunity

Meeting with the CEO of an Aboriginal organisation, is not Aboriginal Engagement unless that CEO is a member of the Aboriginal Community. If you want to consult and engage with Aboriginal organisations, consult and engage with the members not staff. Meetings with CEOs only is a box ticking exercise.

Managing Sexual Harassment in the workplace. What is our responsibility? The recent fine by SafeWork NSW of $300,000 to Residential Care Provider, Marist Youth Group Ltd, for failing in their Health & Safety duties to prevent sexual harassment in the workplace, should serve a warning to all business owners of the need to implement proactive preventative measures in place. However, speaking with business owners every day, unfortunately, the message is clearly not getting through to everyone. So, for the avoidance of doubt, as a business owner (or PCBU), understand that there is a legal (& moral) obligation to proactively manage sexual harassment in your workplace. This can involve a number of control measures such as: ·        Establishing Clear Documented Policies & Procedures ·        Training and Education (ongoing) ·        Promoting a Culture of Respect ·        Establishing Multiple Reporting Channels ·        Prompt and Fair Investigations when reported ·        Taking Corrective Action ·        Supporting Victims ·        Monitoring and Reviewing ·        Leading by Example ·        Using Community and External Resources This duty of care is for all workers (including contractors/sub-contractors, labour hire, volunteers, Etc.) & extends to everyone entering the workplace, (including visitors, customers, clients, patients, friends/family, Etc.) Note, also, the "workplace" is where anyone is "working" for that business, including working out on site, on the road or working at home. Simply saying "We don't condone this" or "We have an incident form to fill out if it occurs" is NEVER enough; we need to be proactively implementing the above. Here in NSW, there are five (yes 5) agencies that regulate and respond to breaches of these obligations & all possess enforcement & compliance powers. These are: ·        SafeWork NSW ·        Anti-Discrimination NSW ·        Australian Human Rights Commission ·        Fair Work Commission ·        Fair Work Ombudsman Business owners can be held "criminally liable" by the SafeWork regulators, and "vicariously liable" by the others unless they take all reasonable proactive steps to prevent the conduct (and documented it). Simple question: Is your business doing enough to "proactively & ongoingly" manage sexual harassment in the workplace? And is it documented? If not, please DM me or call me direct on 0418 935 057 for a confidential discussion around how we can help. At Employsure, we advise, support and protect over 30,000 businesses across Australia & NZ with their Workplace Relations and Work Health & Safety. We can support your business too. #sexualharassment #whs #ohs #healthandsafety
