EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Client’s requirement: Panion Project seeks to address the optimal performance of care workers in Canada and the USA by ensuring better access to quality care. ………………………………
Introduction
Healthcare happens to be the concern of every facet of humanity and for this reason, the Panion project is of great interest and relevance to every community where it exists. At some point in our lives, we have found ourselves, or a family member, or a colleague, or friends needing medical attention, and we all desire that this health/medical situation be treated with the utmost care, skill, professionalism, and acceptable standard.
It would therefore be interesting to render our professional knowledge towards providing valuable information, analyzing potential challenges and opportunities, improving the system and methods to optimize the desired outcome of the Panion project.
A lot of factors that undermine the performance of care workers as identified by the client are but are not limited to;
· The mismatch between job specification and care worker’s attributes.
· The huge commission charged by health care agencies.
· Poor compensation and benefits packages,
· Long distances are often required to deliver service to health-seeker,
· Absence of incentives for skill enhancement and career development.
Scope: Having identified the problems that increased employee turnover in health care services, the Panion project seeks to address these problems and also increase employee retention by using employees retention strategies and tools like training, employee engagement, and development, benefits, and other employee capacity building skills.
