Mindi shares some incredible insights into how we as an industry need to reassess how we do business and make much-needed adjustments moving forward.

Key Questions/Topics Covered

Not a game changer – Make a new one

Everyone is tired of talking about Covid, and it’s time to change the topic. It’s time to start talking about what post-Covid is going to look like. Some say, “they can’t wait to get back to the way things were.” Is this even possible? 

Regardless of who you are or what you experienced, Covid has changed everyone. Emotions, passion, focus, and tolerances have all changed. If we go back to doing things the way we did pre-covid, we won’t be able to meet our staff or residents’ needs successfully. Now is the time to start from scratch!

What should we be focusing our attention on right now?

We should be looking at what we learned about productivity balance and processes that weren’t working. Now is the time to dissect processes and procedures, even our company culture. We need to break it down and build it back up based on what we have learned and what works now.

What do we need to remember, so we start from scratch?

The why. We need to remember why things changed, to begin with. This will not be the last time we have to deal with a situation that demands a quick response. We also need to remember that the way we used to do business worked then, not now. People have come to expect a certain work-life balance and a more efficient workday. They are not going to go back.

Who wants to be normal anyway?

We know better now. We know how to be more productive without being tied to a desk. New generations are entering the workforce, and they will also drive the demand for more efficient ways of completing tasks and achieving a work-life balance. 

New ways to get the job done have been discovered. Going back to the way things were just doesn’t make sense. Moving forward, we need to be focused on creating new ways to ensure our staff and resident’s needs are being met.

Mindy McCorkle’s Mantra

Let’s not teach, let’s learn together

Let’s not just keep up, let’s set the pace

Let’s not be game changers, let’s create a new game

Let’s stand still without casting shadows

Speak kindly or not at all

Uphold our values without apologies

Listen intently to others without thought of reply

Let’s be intentional and real and open to new possibilities

And above all else

Let’s stay aligned with our purpose in life

For to do otherwise is to betray yourself
