Handling Employee Turnover with Facility Management Software

A facility management software system can be a valuable tool for handling technician turnover in senior living facilities by streamlining processes, ensuring knowledge transfer, and maintaining continuity in operations. Here are several examples of how a facility management software system can be utilized during periods of turnover:

Centralized Documentation 

The facility management software system is a centralized repository with comprehensive documentation of standard operating procedures, equipment information, and facility workflows. New hires with access to the software can get up to speed more quickly. 

Training Modules

New hires can use training modules provided by the software vendor to familiarize themselves with the system, processes, and specific facility requirements. This training should also cover essential skills and knowledge required for technicians in the senior living facility.

Task Assignment and Tracking

Task assignment and a tracking system within the facility management software help to manage work orders and projects efficiently. When a technician leaves, this helps redistribute tasks quickly, ensuring there is no disruption in service. 

Workflow Automation

A facility management software system can automate routine and repetitive tasks. This reduces the reliance on specific individuals, helps maintain consistency, and reduces the impact of turnover on day-to-day operations.

Technician Permissions and Access Control

System permissions and access control features can restrict or grant access to specific information based on roles. This helps protect sensitive data while allowing new technicians access to the information they need.

By leveraging these features and strategies, a facility management software system utilized in a senior living facility can significantly minimize the impact of technician turnover on operations and maintain efficiency within the community.

Support Your Senior Living Staff with Smarter Facility Management

Turnover may be common in senior living, but it doesn’t have to be inevitable. When your staff has access to clear processes, reliable tools, and better support, they’re more likely to stay engaged—and stay longer. Facility management software like FacilityONE’s UNITY Solutions Suite helps teams work smarter, not harder, by streamlining work orders, preventive maintenance, communication, and onboarding processes.

Give your staff the tools they need to succeed—and reasons to stay.
