Employer Guide: An Action Guide for Recruitment, Retention and Workforce Success

This employer guide is a practical, action-based resource designed specifically for aging services employers. Whether your organization is just beginning to engage New Americans or already has strong practices in place, this resource provides clear strategies, detailed guidance, ready-to-use tools, and inspiration to strengthen your workforce and enrich resident care.

We extend our deepest gratitude to the Employer Voices Advisory Council and Immigrant Voices Advisory Council — comprised of LeadingAge Minnesota members and partners — for their dedication, expertise, and lived experiences. Their thoughtful input and commitment shaped the strategies, practices, and examples throughout this resource, ensuring it is both practical and meaningful for employers.

This project was made possible through the generous support of the Leading Age Minnesota Foundation and the Minnesota Department of Human Services Grants, Equity, Access, and Research Division whose “Supporting New Americans in the Long-Term Care Workforce Program” funded the creation of these resources.
