Tuesdays at Ten: Closing the OT Gap for Workforce ROI

March 17 @ 10:00 am – 11:00 am EDT
New York State Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (OPWDD) programs face high overtime and labor costs, largely due to chronic direct support professional (DSP) staffing shortages, regulatory staffing requirements, and operational inefficiencies. Join us as we discuss key drivers of overtime and New York-specific regulatory and funding factors. We’ll also share best practice strategies, such as improved scheduling, flexible staffing pools, recruitment and retention investments, and technology use, to help reduce dependence on overtime while still maintaining care quality.
