Hi coworkers,
Wishing you the best October! I hope you get the chance to enjoy the cooler weather and beautiful scenery this time of year has to offer. Happy fall, y'all!
recruitment:
In September, our job postings gained a lot of traction. We were able to hire five new caregivers, five food services employees, and a human resources officer.
On that note, Karine Bernier will assume the Clinical Scheduler and Occupational Health and Safety role in mid-October. Karine comes to us with twelve years of scheduling and health and safety experience. We are pleased to welcome her to our team and look forward to her arrival. In the meantime, Roxanne and Carolyn continue to attend to her tasks.
This summer was difficult on us and I hope our continued efforts to recruit new employees will soon allow us to breathe easier. Please hang in there, colleagues!
