Healthcare organizations such as nursing homes, rehabilitation facilities, and long-term care facilities are tapping into the workforce that can be provided by professional staffing companies. These agencies allow them to keep fully staffed during their busy times. Organizations are turning to these staffing providers to address seasonal labor fluctuations, provide for unanticipated vacancies, and to staff up as occupancy demands provide. Whether it is a temporary job lasting a few days or months to cover a leave, or a permanent job placement – professional staffing companies allow healthcare facilities to adjust their workforce to meet their changing needs.
Arcadia New England provides healthcare facilities with qualified, screened nursing staff to address internal workforce needs.
Tip: Getting Help Saves Time & Money
When you work with a professional staffing agency, you can save a considerable amount of time and costs related to hiring new staff. Preparing job descriptions, conducting an employment search and interviews, and selecting the right candidate for a healthcare position takes a lot time! It is also a costly endeavor. It requires not only the expense of your internal staff’s time, but running advertisements, employee benefits costs of hiring permanent employees. There is also additional risk and overhead associated with any job search.
How Arcadia can help you:
At Arcadia New England, we can provide you with one capable individual to cover a vacation, or an entire team of healthcare providers to complete your unit needs. All of our staff are employees of Arcadia, so the expenses related to staffing falls on our budgets. Additionally, every one of our employees are bonded and fully insured by us. We save you the costs of employee benefits and insurances.
Hiring temporary staff to fill staffing needs requires less initial cost, risk and overhead than searching for and hiring permanent employees.

Tip: Be sure your patients are safe and protected.
While there is much screening an employer can do to ensure the individual they hire does not represent any risk or threat to other staff and patients, it is a daunting task to fully screen job candidates. Unfortunately, due to time constraints and the emergency need for positions, proper screening is often overlooked.

Tip: Be strategic in determining your staffing needs.
Instead of continuing to hire for an immediate need – reactionary staffing – take the time to step back and really consider your overall staffing needs, your unit changes or transitions, and what staffing makeup truly meets your long-term goals of your organization. Every staff member is an investment, and you want to be sure you are investing wisely for your future.
