Three Workforce Development Programs That Actually Support Caregivers (Daniel Stringer)

#71 Total Care Connections CEO Daniel Stringer shares how his team supports a workforce of roughly 1,000 active employees delivering 17,000 hours of care each week. He breaks down a paid-leave program that provides six weeks after childbirth plus two weeks of parental leave for birth, foster, and adoptive parents. He explains the company’s employee relief fund and how it has awarded 264 grants totaling more than $200,000, with employees eligible for up to $1,000 annually. Daniel also shares how moving to self-funded health insurance helped the company keep employee costs flat despite receiving a 76% renewal increase—and reduced some employees’ prescription costs from $500–$700 per month to $50 or even zero. This episode gives home care owners three tangible ways to invest in caregivers and start building benefits that meet our workforce needs.Connect with DanielDaniel Stringer on LinkedInDaniel’s email: DStringer@totalcareconnections.com Total Care ConnectionsEmployee Relief FundTotal Care Connections Grant Circle powered by CanaryCanary—emergency relief fund solution to aide your team members in times of crisis Self-Insured Health Care PartnersTo set up Self Insured Health Plan Options: https://www.thegibsonedge.com/services/employee-benefitsVendors they use in the health plan:SHARX: https://sharxplan.com/Auxient: https://www.auxiant.com/Pareto: https://paretohealth.com/Procedures/Imaging: https://www.valenzhealth.com/Pharmacy Benefits Manager: https://truerx.com/ Sponsors:Vitable HealthHelper Heroes—mention the LAB
