This includes anticipating and responding to their behavioral health needs. During this session\, participants will review the impacts of stress and trauma on staff and survivors. After going over potential stress triggers and reactions\, participants will determine through small and large group activities the stressors likely to impact staff and types of stress or trauma expected in patients. \nParticipants will then explore how to incorporate disaster behavioral health into disaster plans to address the identified stressors and reactions. Building on standard sections within Emergency Operations Plans (EOPs) and Continuity of Operations Plans (COOPs)\, this session will provide suggestions on areas that can be expanded or developed to incorporate staff resilience building and behavioral health response. Group discussions will aid in communal learning and problem solving to help participants determine what may work for their health center. Activities with drafted plan language or planning tools may also be included within small or large group activities. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nIdentify stressors\, trauma reactions\, and their potential impacts on staff and/or patients.\nExamine how disasters may affect staff or patients’ behavioral health.\nCollaborate with fellow participants to assess how to address behavioral health needs in disaster plans.\nDetermine ways to incorporate behavioral health into emergency operations plans and/or continuity of operations plans.\n\nPresented by Susan Schmitz\, MAIDP\, Independent Consultant \nCCALAC Member and Affiliate fee: $50 \nNon-member fee: $100 \nComplimentary for CCALAC EM Roundtable Members \nRegister Now! \nInstructor Biography: \nSusan Schmitz is a disaster preparedness\, response\, and recovery professional with 17 years of experience who blends operational expertise and research into planning and training.

Driven by employee engagement and exit surveys\, organizations addressed topics like recognition and communication with employee-of-the-month awards and town hall meetings\, following traditional thinking that these tactics would improve retention. Research\, however\, indicates that they don’t. This session presents the most important thing employees seek to stay longer – a supervisor they can trust.  \nBy attending this course\, attendees will be able to:  \n\nLearn why measuring turnover’s cost and implementing retention goals puts employee retention on the same plane as other business-driven objectives. \nLearn how to facilitate stay interviews with each member of your team. \nLearn how forecasting how long each employee will stay becomes an important overall retention component. \n\nPresented by Dick Finnegan\, Speaker\, Author\, and CEO\, C-Suite Analytics. \nRegister Now! \nComplimentary for CCALAC Members & Affiliates \nInstructor Biography: \nDick Finnegan is THE global turnover expert\, having cut turnover by 30% and more for healthcare\, manufacturing\, logistics\, distribution centers\, call center\, and other industries…and on all six inhabited continents.
