Building a Successful Workforce in Changing and Challenging Times
Presented by: John Dyer, co-author of LTC: Leadership Training and Conditioning, and co-owner of Leeson Brown, Ltd.
Long Term Care is faced with changing and challenging times! It’s not the first time the industry has experienced change, nor will it be the last. However, key to an organization's ability to successfully navigate through these shifting times, is its’ ability to build a strong, loyal workforce. Research indicates that you can improve performance capabilities and job satisfaction when behavioral strengths are recognized and used effectively. In this fun, interactive session participants will develop an awareness of 4 behavioral types that are present within every organization, and understand how these types can contribute to their organization’s success, by:
• Identifying their own behavioral style and its strengths, by completing the DiSC® Preview assessment
• Discovering what can happen when a strength is overused
• Increasing awareness of the synergistic value of 4 behavioral styles that are present within their organization.
2:45 p.m. – 4:15 p.m.

Rob Pivonka, Partner, Rolf & Goffman
The implications of social media are creeping into every aspect of life – including your business. This session is intended to discuss various issues and concerns or problems that can arise from employees and supervisors use of social media outlets such as facebook, digg, del.icio.us, twitter and others. There have been recent problems with employer’s confidential or proprietary information shared on social networks; discussions of disciplinary actions or other employee-employer business; and resident rights and privacy issues when health care employees discuss patients online. This session will address these issues through the use of a detailed and extended case study.

Wake Up! (To Leading Edge Workplace Practices)
Presented by Susan Marsico, LNHA, Director of Training, HCF Management, Inc.
Evidence shows that Person Centered Care improves both the quality of care and the quality of life for residents living in long term care communities. What some don’t realize is that Person Centered Care also reaps impressive workplace outcomes! By embracing person centered practices, organizations are not only becoming the care provider of choice, but the employer of choice as well! Yet, according to a recent national nursing home survey, only one third of all nursing homes nationwide reported adopting some sort of culture change practice.
It’s time to wake up to the fact that Person Centered Care is the right thing to do - not only for residents but for every person working within the organization! If being the employer of choice is important to you, then this is a program you won’t want to miss!
In this early morning session participants will:
• Determine why Culture Change calls for effective workplace practices,
• Learn what these historically proven, and leading edge workplace practices are,
• Understand how these practices can be applied to your organization
Start your day off right, by participating in “Wake Up! To Leading Edge Workplace Practices”!
Concurrent Session Descriptions-- Tuesday, August 3
10:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
1. Remain Union-Free
Presented by: Scott Salsbury, Partner, Salsbury & Salsbury, LPA
Nursing facilities and other healthcare workplaces have everything that unions look for: large numbers of employees capable of paying monthly dues; performing demanding work that can create tension with management; in jobs that cannot be 'off-shored.' Once a union works itself in, it is virtually impossible to extract. The best strategy for healthcare employers is to focus on prevention; building the relationships and fostering a workplace environment that are adverse to union organizing. In this session, case studies and participant discussion are used to introduce and work with the best practices to deter union activity.
2. New for Ohio: Group Retro Policies
Presented by: Stephanie Curran,
Diane Dietz, Assistant Executive Director, Ohio Health Care Association
There’s a new option in the BWC’s toolkit for helping employers manage workers comp expenses and assume risk (if they’re willing). We all know about group policies (which are fading fast). You can experience similar advantages which were available with group plans even if you don’t have the near-perfect claims experience which was otherwise desired. Come to this program to learn how it all works and how your focus on prevention can save you money. Learn from a company who’s got a year of experience in OHCA’s program and who can answer your questions from an employer’s point of view.
1:00 p.m. – 2:30 p.m.
3. Working in Partnership: Ensuring Healthcare Regulatory Compliance in Employment Decisions
Presented by: Craig T. Haran, Partner, Rebecca J. Bennett, Partner, Frantz Ward, LLP
This session will focus on how licensure and certification requirements govern a long-term care facility’s hiring, training and disciplinary practices, and how these requirements interact with state and federal labor and employment laws. The speakers, who focus their respective legal practices on Healthcare Regulatory Law and Employment Law, will provide concrete examples of situations in which compliance with licensure and certification requirements mandate how certain employment matters, including hiring and employee discipline, should be administered. The speakers will also provide best practices that Administrators and Human Resource professionals can follow when implementing employee discipline following incidents affecting licensure and certification.
4. Wellness
Presented by: Doug Short, President, Benicomp
This session will discuss how 75% of every claim dollar is spent on conditions that are lifestyle related, and how wellness initiatives that use biometric data can mitigate chronic claims or avoid them. Attendees will learn the various types of Wellness programs available, and the differences between Participation based and Outcome based. In addition, we will go in to detail as to how Actuarial value is the most cost effective reward, as opposed to gift cards, and cash incentives. Attendees will see proven results from comprehensive reports from a de-identified actual employer, and, gain insight into the legality of, and regulations pertaining to Wellness Programs. We will also provide updates as to Wellness in regards to Health Reform, which is part of HR 3962 passed by the House and the version passed by the Senate Finance Committee.
Concurrent Sessions = Wednesday, August 4

5. More Bang for the Buck – how to use incentive compensation to reduce fixed costs and reward your best performers
Presented by: Steve Sullivan, Director, Human Capital Consulting; Stephanie Kessler, Manager, Human Capital Consulting
The recent recessionary environment has brought diminished operating budgets and margins and has forced businesses to adjust their fixed costs in an effort to accumulate or conserve capital. Payroll represents a significant fixed cost, yet the base salaries comprising payroll don’t necessarily motivate high performing employees to contribute at the level that businesses need to succeed. Attend this session to find out how to shift more of your fixed compensation expense to variable by redirecting base-salary dollars toward incentive awards for the highest performing employees. This session will address how to get the right elements into a Performance Management System, establish variable pay plan eligibility, award opportunity levels by employee, and the funding mechanisms necessary for the plans to create an acceptable financial model under multiple performance scenarios. The session will be cast in a case study format and participants will contribute to the solution!
6. It’s your problem now: How the mistakes of supervisors become your headache
Presented by: Marijane E. Treacy, Esquire, Partner, Schutjer Bogar LLC
Everyday supervisors make decisions, or don’t make decisions, which land as problems on your desk. From ignoring FMLA notice signals, to perpetuating harassment and discrimination, to creating bad evidence for litigation, your supervisors – who should be your No. 1 ally, can become your worst nightmare. This session will discuss common mistakes made by supervisors which lead to bigger problems for HR and the facility. Management 'do's and don'ts' will be reviewed to help eliminate the HR headache.
9:45 a.m. – 10:45 a.m. – Select One
7. GLEE, The Lawsuit
Presented by: Cynthia K. Springer, Partner, Baker & Daniels LLP

From I-9 documentation heartaches, to wage payment goofs, to employment policy mistakes, to complaint investigation messes, this presentation will help you stop the drama in your workplace and minimize your organization's future litigation exposure.
8. Internal Investigation Principles: An Objective Approach to Finding the Facts
Presented by Sharon Clark, Partner, Cooper & Walinski, LPA
Human resources professionals are often called upon to recommend when, how, and indeed whether an investigation of alleged wrongdoing should be conducted. Allegations may come from diverse sources such as employees, residents or their families, governmental agencies, audits, or whistleblowers. The allegations may involve employee activities, abuse of residents, financial malfeasance, Medicare fraud, violation of equal employment laws, or sexual harassment, and may arise in the context of litigation or threatened litigation.
This session will cover principles and recommendations useful in deciding why, when, and how to conduct an internal investigation and what use should or could be made of the results of the investigation. The principles and recommendations will be applicable in a variety of situations and will constitute an approach toward discerning the facts with objectivity while developing an appropriate response to the allegations. The importance of maintaining the attorney-client privilege will also be discussed.
11:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m. = Select One
9. How To Hire and Retain Engaged Staff Members
Presented by Andre Boykin, Managing Partner, CAPITAL IDEA
Learn a proven process to hire the right people, reduce turnover and gain staff engagement. The session discusses how to create a job benchmark to determine what a job requires in behaviors, workplace motivators, and personal skills/attributes; why job attributes are so important to rounding up the right person that will perform well and be engaged; how to use the job benchmark to develop, plan, and implement a behavioral base job interview that will predict future performance. We'll cover the five questions that must be asked and answered before bringing anyone into the organization.
10. Newly Protected Classes
Presented by Janis E. Susalla Foley, Attorney, Cooper & Walinski, L.P.A.
For years, anti-discrimination laws protected applicants and employees based on race, gender, age, religion, and a few other well-known protected classes. Now there is an entire treasure trove of newly protected--or expanded--categories including sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, race and color, caregivers, military service, genetic information, and “regarded as disabled. It’s time to learn the wide range of employee Protected Activities. Employers who stay abreast of updates in this cutting-edge area will lower their risk of costly discrimination and retaliation claims.
