How can social care organisations and local authorities put their workforce in a condition to provide the best possible social support?
This is a pressing question for social services providers across Europe, as the sector is increasingly approaching a workforce crisis that could seriously affect its capacity to respond to growing and evolving social needs. At a time when demand for social services continues to rise, many organisations are struggling to attract, retain and support the professionals on whom the system depends.
The European Social Network (ESN) joins forces with EY to showcase a spectrum of solution-oriented approaches that can help secure the future of social services and the people who work in them. This webinar aims to demonstrate that innovative solutions to tackle workforce shortages are not out of reach for social care organisations and public authorities.
Join us to explore how social services can be future-proofed by supporting the workforce that makes them possible.
