I will also add...I am not talking about people that legitimately call in when they are sick but those that call in because "I have to study" or "My grandma died for the 7th time" (No joke this was really a call in), "I locked my keys in my car" (never mind that they lived within walking distance to the facility)

I have recently taken on the role as staffing development coordinator in a skilled nursing facility. I absolutely love my job. However, we continue to have staffing issues with call ins. We have implemented a "3 strikes you're out" rule. However, this still doesn't seem to "phase" anyone. While we are a busy and fast paced facility, I still feel that we are definitely an awesome facility. Does anyone have any suggestions on ways to encourage our staff not to call in? We give bonuses, make sure we continue to let them know they are appreciated, etc. Apparently we just haven't found exactly what works well for our group-if anything will work. What works for you? I would LOVE to hear your ideas!!!
