Tuesday 4th October 2022
12pm – 1pm | Virtual Meeting
Are you concerned about retention in social care?
Are you ready to find out how you can make a difference?
The social care industry has a major retention issue. However, online assessment and development tools such as Care Character can help to change this.
As part of this online event, we’ll provide an overview of Care Character to date including case studies, as well as an introduction to its academic background. We will explore the case for retention in the first three months of a new starter joining your organisation. Finally, we will introduce the latest Care Character development report which can be used by hiring managers and new starters to aid your retention strategy.
This is a great introduction to the Care Character process, as well as issues affecting the industry.
Join us on Tuesday 4th October at 12pm to find out more.

Recruitment & Retention: Revolutionary Practice for the Future Social Care Workforce
Cohesion are an extension of us and really live our values. They never fail to deliver on promise and work hard to deliver a high quality candidate experience and service to us. We have complete faith that with Cohesion’s unique expertise they will continue to help build a strong talent pipeline for our Nursing Service.
Today, we have a healthy recruitment pipeline in most locations, our vacant hours are drastically reduced which has a huge impact on agency costs and quality of care. The average time to offer has reduced considerably and more encouraging is the quality of our new colleagues who are recruited for their ‘values’
I would definitely recommend Cohesion as a recruitment partner. Working with them has taken the pain out of the recruitment process.
Cohesion’s results were very impressive. The effort that Cohesion make to keep candidates engaged and move them efficiently through the recruitment process was key to helping us achieve a high attendance rate at interview and very low drop out post interview. I have been impressed with how responsive they have been to any issues raised and their ability to deliver candidates in a difficult recruitment market
