The Care Quality Commission’s (CQC's) focus on safe and effective staffing is deeply connected to how well an organisation recruits, inducts, and supports its staff, all of which must be grounded in the organisation's core values. This virtual three-day interactive programme provides practical tools and hands-on experiences to seamlessly integrate these principles into your daily operations.

With a focus on real-world applications, you’ll gain immediate actionable strategies to create a values-driven, supportive workplace that attracts and retains staff. This will save your organisation significant future recruitment costs, add value to the day-to-day care you deliver from a trusted care team, and provide robust evidence to the CQC about your well-led and safe practice.

Learn to refine interview techniques, structure assessments, and implement recruitment practices. Whether you want to reduce staff turnover, increase diversity, or attract a broader candidate pool, this programme will help you to develop practical methods for identifying candidates who fit your organisation.

Day 1: Define – shaping your core culture

Go beyond simply identifying your organisation’s values, actively define and align them with the behaviours you want to see from your workforce. Through interactive exercises, including behaviour-based questions, learn how to clearly articulate values to existing staff and potential recruits, ensuring they resonate throughout your organisation. 

Day 2: Establish – embedding values into daily operations 

Focus on embedding values into everyday workplace practices. Explore how to weave values into critical touchpoints such as inductions, regular supervision, and one-on-one meetings, to ensure values consistently guide behaviours across your team. Discover feedback and development models to help build a values-driven culture that promotes engagement and retention.  

Day 3:Recruit – building a value-driven recruitment process 

Focus on recruitment strategies aligned with your values and behaviours. Enhance your recruitment process to ensure it consistently attracts individuals who align with your organisation’s values and culture.
