Solving Workforce Shortages and Retention in Long-Term Care: How Workday, OneSource Virtual, and The Groove Deliver a Unified Solution

Struggling with workforce shortages in Long-Term Care?
You're not alone. But there’s a better way forward.
Together, Workday, OneSource Virtual (OSV), and The Groove deliver a unified solution that helps LTC organizations hire faster, reduce burnout, and retain top talent—without overwhelming internal teams. When your people feel supported, your care outcomes follow.
Today, Long-Term Care (LTC) organizations are facing an undeniable crisis: workforce shortages and soaring staff turnover. The stakes couldn’t be higher—care quality, regulatory compliance, and even financial sustainability are all on the line.
At the heart of this challenge lies a common thread: outdated processes, disconnected systems, and burnout-inducing workflows that leave staff feeling unsupported and undervalued.
That’s where the combined strength of Workday, OSV, and The Groove comes in—offering a transformative, people-centered solution tailored to address and solve the unique demands of the LTC environment.
The Challenge: Workforce Strain That Impacts Care at Every Level
Staffing gaps in Long-Term Care go far beyond unfilled positions—they lead to overextended and overworked care teams, low employee engagement, and administrative hurdles that hinder recruitment, retention, and workforce empowerment. Traditional systems and approaches often make this worse: slow hiring processes, manual scheduling headaches, lack of workforce insights, and cumbersome payroll and compliance workflows.
The Unified Solution: Three Partners, One Mission—Empower Your Workforce
Workday – The Technology Backbone
Workday brings LTC organizations a modern, intuitive, and scalable platform for managing your people—from recruiting and onboarding to learning, payroll, and analytics.
With Workday, LTC organizations can:
