CMP Grant Application to Retain Staff Ends Jan. 30

Posted on December 23, 2021 by Jenna Kellerman

Care centers have access to an engagement, retention, and leadership building platform for free through a grant for Align’s Employee Engagement Solution. The final grant window closes on Jan. 30. Previous messages indicated that subsequent grant cycles would open over the next two years; however, this will be the last opportunity.

This initiative will fully fund:

• A comprehensive employee engagement process, complete with evidence-based retention resources
• Data collection and analysis through surveys across the entire employee life cycle — new hires, current staff and exiting employees — to help you make informed improvement decisions
• Staff and customer communication tools to boost participation, trust and transparency
• Leadership training for managers and supervisors — because employee engagement is highly influenced by the behaviors and actions of your frontline leaders
• Benchmarking on multiple data points compared to participating facilities in Minnesota.

The grant is limited to 150 skilled nursing facilities.

LeadingAge Minnesota and Care Providers of Minnesota collaboratively led this two-year initiative through the civil money penalty (CMP) grants to address employee turnover and its impact on the resident experience and quality of life in Minnesota skilled nursing facilities.
