--000000000000c520f905fe186fab Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thank you for your very prompt and thoughtful response. If Elizabeth is back this week then it may make more sense to wait for her. We just need to ensure that when she is back she is really focused on those two specific needs. I have no doubt in Elizabeth's ability as a recruiter, we all know how difficult it is to find talent these days. My suggestion about training was for the caregivers not the recruiters for this very reason. If the talent doesn't exist in the same capacity these days then we need to start investing in their training (or so I would think.) I have lots of thoughts on this but it is in no way my department and so I will leave that to Chuck, Kerry and whomever else is involved in caregiver education. We will look forward to Elizabeth's return on Friday. Cheryl On Wed, Jun 14, 2023 at 12:05=E2=80=AFPM Jon Eckrich wrote: > Good morning Cheryl, > > Thanks for reaching out.
