Career Gaps Pose Concern for 36% of US Employers, Yet 95% Acknowledge Valid Explanations

Paul Zboichyk2024-05-19T22:29:27-04:00May 19th, 2024|Tags: business services, Express Employment Professionals, professional education, staffing solutions|

Health Issues, Caregiving and Schooling Acceptable

Latest Results from The Harris Poll

OKLAHOMA CITY — Although sizable unexplained work gaps (36%) may deter some U.S. hiring managers from interviewing applicants, an overwhelming majority (95%) of decision-makers recognize valid reasons for such interruptions.

This is according to a recent Express Employment Professionals-Harris Poll survey.

On the other side of the situation, surveyed job seekers say they are worried about long-term employment but also believe there are acceptable reasons for candidates to have large gaps on resumes, including:

Health Issues — 73% hiring managers; 74% job seekers
Staying Home with a Child — 68% hiring managers; 66% job seekers
Going to School — 68% hiring managers; 65% job seekers
Caring for an Elderly Parent — 67% hiring managers; 67% job seekers
Trying to Switch Careers — 45% hiring managers; 41% job seekers
Not Liking Working in Their Past Industry — 23% hiring managers; 18% job seekers

These reasons are more likely to be found to be acceptable by female job seekers compared to men, while sentiments are equal for female/male hiring managers.

Re-Entering the Workforce After Caregiving

“Hiring managers should be receptive to many of these real-life situations because they don’t indicate complacency,” said Neil McMillan, an Express franchise owner in California. “The candidate was doing something of value for themselves or others.”

One of the most common reasons for taking time away from careers is caregiving as 100 million U.S. adults “function as caregivers, providing care for a child, parent or other relative.”

How this gap is perceived by employers depends, according to Kim Sullivan, an Express franchise owner in Wisconsin.

“Someone who did graphic design 15 years ago might be very out of touch with the technological advances in that field,” she said. “On the other hand, I don’t know that packaging, production or forklift driving has changed that much in the past decade. If it has been a long break, I think the candidate should expect a lower pay rate until they prove themselves a bit.”

McMillan seconds this.

“Taking a step back from the workforce to be a caregiver is acceptable, as long as it doesn’t result in eroded skills,” he said.

Sullivan adds that historically, caregiving duties that lead to time away from the workplace disproportionately affected mothers, but that seems to be evolving.

“Many years ago, the ‘norm’ was for mothers to stay home, and the fathers worked,” she said. “I think that is changing. Now, both caregivers are looking for more flexibility to share the responsibilities of earning money and raising children.”

Due to low unemployment levels and a big shortage of talent, having both parents work is critical to the success of the economy, McMillan added.

“Where possible, employers should consider the challenges faced with regards to childcare and commutes,” he said. “Managers could try to offer flexible schedules and hybrid or remote work opportunities where possible and as long as it makes business sense.”

It can be easy to overlook candidates without a linear work history, but that could be a mistake, according to Express Employment International CEO Bill Stoller.

“For even the most dedicated employee, life interruptions happen,” he said. “Hiring managers might miss out on the ideal candidate by simply evaluating them on paper. If the applicant has the proper skills and appears to be a cultural fit, it’s worth bringing them in for further evaluation and a possible employment offer.”

Survey Methodology
The Job Insights survey was conducted online within the United States by The Harris Poll on behalf of Express Employment Professionals between Oct. 31 and Nov. 10, 2023, among 1,007 U.S. hiring decision-makers.

ALWAYS BEST CARE HELPS SENIORS KEEP ISOLATION IN CHECK WITH TELEPHONE REASSURANCE PROGRAM

Paul Zboichyk2024-05-18T18:31:12-04:00May 18th, 2024|Tags: Always Best Care, Exclusive Programs, Senior Assistance, senior care|

“Always In Touch” Service One of Many Ways to Boost Mental Health for Seniors

ROSEVILLE, Calif. — Always Best Care Senior Services, one of the leading senior care franchise systems in the United States, works with thousands of individuals and their families to provide personalized care plans that allow seniors to age in place at home. During Mental Health Awareness Month this May, the company is encouraging seniors to make socialization part of their daily routine. One service that has become increasingly popular since its launch over 12 years ago is Always Best Care’s complimentary telephone reassurance program, which gives the companionship of a friendly voice to seniors and disabled adults and helps combat the isolation and loneliness that can take a toll on physical, mental and emotional health.

Always in Touch offers daily check-ins or weekly socialization calls to Always Best Care clients, providing a sense of security that the senior is not alone. This may be temporary while recuperating from an illness or surgery, or it may be a more permanent situation for someone who is isolated, living alone, or in need of daily contact. Always Best Care is one of the few senior care organizations to provide this kind of program to its clients.

“Independence and the ability to age in place is a goal for many seniors, and Always Best Care provides the in-home care solutions that can help them do that. The older adults our franchise offices work with are more likely to live alone, have a chronic illness or hearing loss, or to be experiencing the loss of family and friends. All of these factors increase their risk for loneliness and social isolation, which is why it is so important to offer them opportunities for companionship,” said Jake Brown, President and CEO of Always Best Care.

In-home caregivers provide companionship in addition to helping with activities of daily living and tasks around the house. During a caregiver visit, seniors have someone to discuss current events with them, listen to stories about grandkids or happy family memories and play games or cards. A caregiver is also able to escort seniors on errands, to the movies, or out to lunch.

In addition to hiring an in-home caregiver, other tips Always Best Care recommends for seniors to explore more social interaction and a healthier mental state include:

Seek out a relationship with neighbors who may be interested in going for a walk, taking a coffee break together or checking in on each other from time to time.
Get family visits or regular phone/video calls on the calendar so you have them to look forward to.
Volunteer for an important cause in the community. You’ll have the opportunity to socialize and meet new people while helping an organization that needs your time and talent.
Join a club, attend exercise classes or pick up a new/old hobby. Mental and physical activity is key.
Arrange transportation to remove the stress or obstacle of driving where you want to go. Some senior agencies offer pick-up and drop-off services, or there may be carpool options with friends.

Always Best Care is one of the nation’s leading providers of non-medical in-home care and senior living referral services, with skilled home health care in limited markets. The company delivers its services through an international network of more than 250 independently owned and operated franchise territories throughout the United States and Canada. By working with case managers, social workers, discharge planners, doctors, and families, Always Best Care franchise owners provide affordable, comprehensive solutions that can be specifically matched to meet a client’s particular physical or social needs.

About Always Best Care
Founded in 1996, Always Best Care Senior Services is based on the belief that having the right people for the right level of care means peace of mind for the client and family. Always Best Care has been assisting seniors with a wide range of conditions and personal needs for over 27 years and currently provides thousands of hours of care every year. Franchise opportunities are available to individuals interested in leveraging the company’s clear strategy and proven track record for delivering affordable, dependable service to seniors in their local areas.

Always Best Care also offers exclusive programs such as Always in Touch, Balance Tracking System, remote patient monitoring and a 24/7 Virtual Care. For more information regarding Always Best Care’s solutions, visit www.alwaysbestcare.com.

As Critical Need for Pet Adoption Continues to Rise, Leading Pet Retailer Invites Neighbors to Family-Friendly Event with Adoptable Dogs and Cats

LIVONIA, Mich. — With an estimated 6.3 million animals being surrendered to shelters annually, there arises a vital necessity for a surge in pet adoption. In response to this pressing concern, Pet Supplies Plus, the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise in the United States, has announced its third annual, family-friendly, ‘Paws, Pals, and Pet Supplies Plus’ adoption event.

With live music, refreshments, and swag, the free event will take place at Meadow Brook Amphitheatre on Saturday, May 18, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oakland University Credit Union is the exclusive presenting partner of Meadow Brook Amphitheatre.

Centered on support for rescue groups and their adoptable animals, over 20 shelters and rescues from the metro Detroit area will showcase dogs and cats available for adoption on-site. While numerous pets may find their forever homes on the same day, adoption availability may differ among shelters.

“Reflecting on last year’s success helping over 80 animals find their forever homes, we’re thrilled to continue our tradition,” said Chris Rowland, Chief Executive Officer of Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N’ Wash. “At Pet Supplies Plus, we’re not just pet lovers; we’re pet advocates, striving to create a world where every animal is treated with the love, respect, and the care they deserve. We welcome all of our neighbors who are eager to open their hearts and homes to a furry companion to join us at this special event.”

Free pet giveaways, including dog and cat treats, plush dog toys, and frisbees, will be available from event sponsors including Purina, Stella & Chewy, and Merrick. Attendees will also have the opportunity to stuff a KONG and donate it to a local shelter on-site.

With a mission of creating more awareness on the value and need for pet adoption, Pet Supplies Plus, and its emerging sister brand, Wag N Wash, recently launched a nationwide initiative to help 15,000 dogs and cats get adopted in 2024. Combined, the brands have helped more than 3800 pets find their forever homes year to date.

Pet Supplies Plus offers a wide array of natural pet foods and a variety of US-made pet consumables, including food, treats, rawhide and chews. Every store is set in welcoming neighborhood environments and supported by team members who get to know their neighbors and pets by name. Full-service grooming, self-serve pet wash stations and fresh bakery treats are also available in-store at many locations. Furthermore, neighbors can fill prescriptions online and receive home delivery for quality medications and specialty diets. Whether shopping in-store or online, choosing local is easy.
