Early during the pandemic I saw a comment from someone suggesting asking "what did you do for your employees during the pandemic?" as a question everyone should ask during an interview. Asking about WFM seems to have become another.
- Bought laptops or paid a stipend towards continuing ed equivalent to a laptop for people who liked their laptops - Instituted family and medical leave - Started a 401(k) - Staggered work schedules to minimize contact between employees - Switched to maximum televisits to permit work from home opportunities - Increased reimbursement for more than half the classes of care we provide - Increased logistical staffing 150% We already have flexible hours because of the nature of the care we provide. It's funny - a number of online advocates recommend you look into SHOP plans because you get phatty tax credits for the first two years, but your full-time-equivalent for all employees needs to be like under $56k a year. I've got employees whose FTE hourly is like $415k, and I'm not even married to them.
