Investing in Employee Training and Development
BrightStar Care invests in finding employee training and development resources to offer franchisees so they can leverage and provide their staff new skills and to stay up-to-date with the latest home care practices.
BrightStar Care recently announced a partnership with Chamberlain University, the largest nursing school program in the country. Chamberlain University will be offering an innovative curriculum for rising nurses which will include a refined training program in the home care specialty. BrightStar Care’s partnership with the program will allow students the opportunity to gain first-hand training experience at an independently owned and operated BrightStar Care agency. This partnership is an innovative way for BrightStar Care franchise partners to have access to student and alumni lists for the purpose of recruiting talent. The students who go through the program at Chamberlain, will get to know BrightStar Care as a brand, and will come out of the program with skills and experience specific to the home care industry.
Leveraging Technology
BrightStar Care is offering its franchise partners technology to improve the efficiency of their operations and reduce the workload of their staff. We have implemented a mobile app that allows franchisees’ caregivers to manage their schedules, view client information, and communicate with other staff members. Many BrightStar Care independently owned and operated franchises have implemented flexible schedules, so their staff have workable options to balance work and family life. Franchise partners can reap this benefit as the technology we offer improves operations efficiency, manager to employee communication, and overall employee satisfaction.
Focusing on Employee Satisfaction
BrightStar Care knows that franchisees who focus on employee satisfaction improve retention rates and reduce turnover. Our franchise partners have access to employee satisfaction surveys, where they can view feedback to continue improving their policies and practices with their employees.
For years, the BrightStar Care system has been celebrating agencies’ devoted nurses and caregivers. The brand hosts annual Nurse and Caregiver of the Year awards, where the system as a whole celebrates those who have shown excellence by going above and beyond for clients. Our annual awards have demonstrated, time and time again, how valuable it is to uplift and celebrate our franchisees’ special employees.
