In this episode of the podcast, our Nathan and Jesse sit down with Darren, an expert in the field of adult care facilities, to discuss the challenges of adult care facilities and measuring performance of the team within.

Darren explains that traditional key performance indicators (KPIs), such as occupancy rates, time efficiency, and revenue per patient, do not always apply to adult care facilities. This is because the focus in these facilities is not solely on financial performance and Henry Ford type efficiency, but also on the quality of life and care for the residents.

In this episode, we discuss with Megan, the wins and challenges of virtual job interviews from the job seeker perspective. The shift to remote work has resulted in a rise in virtual interviews, but they come with their own set of follies. 

We explore the ways that technology can fail during the interview, leading to awkward silences and technical difficulties. Additionally, virtual interviews can lack the personal connection and body language cues that are important in traditional in-person interviews. 

Finally, we discuss how to overcome these challenges and make the most out of a virtual job interview. Whether you're a job seeker or an employer, this episode offers valuable insights and tips for navigating the virtual interview landscape. Follow Megan on social @meglovesweed

We interviewed Chris, a very enthusiastic HR professional with an incredible amount of experience and wisdom.  In fact, we had so much enjoyable content, that this episode is longer than our previous two because I didn't know what to cut and what to keep, so we kept all of it! 

Fun Fact: the episode image was created using a DALL-E AI image creation tool, just for fun.  This is a "Broken Ping Pong Table" according to.....computers!
