GoodLife U Gets Results
Our 4-Step Workforce Consulting Plan
In four easy steps, our workforce consultants discover your needs, analyze your programs, design a solution, and help you implement it smoothly.
Workforce 101
Workforce 101 is a free, no-commitment opportunity to learn about GoodLife U’s strategies directly from our CEO and our team. We’ll present our research and case studies as we briefly discuss how our strategies can help your organization thrive. There’s no pressure to make a decision during Workforce 101, if you decide to move forward in the process, we’ll talk about the next steps when your organization is ready.
Discovery
During this phase, our consultants work closely with your team to develop a high-level overview of your organization, programs, and homes to uncover the specific pain points you’re facing. Then, we’ll develop a selection of tailored recommendations for your organization allowing you the flexibility to choose the best approach for your organization.
Program Analysis & Redesign
Once your team has selected a path forward, our team of experts partners with your organization to help analyze schedules, optimize your payroll, and make other recommendations for improving the experience of your direct care workforce. These recommendations can include: new, more consistent schedules; staff pay increases; overtime savings, and more.
Implementation
Before your new workforce strategy can be put into practice, our consultants will meet weekly with you to help implement your new workforce strategies. We also provide templates for internal marketing and communication documents to help make sure your whole organization is on the same page and that the transition goes as smoothly as possible.

Chief Strategy & People Officer at Koinonia
The process to implement new schedules was HARD for staff and managers, not knowing all of the ‘why’ behind the changes being made. BUT NOW, those same staff are speaking up about how happy they are and about how their quality of life has improved tremendously. We even had a manager share that this week was the first time her schedule didn’t include direct care hours she had to cover – and stories like this are all over the place. I am so grateful we didn’t let the challenges of change keep us from all of the rewards.

About GoodLife U
GoodLife U was developed from the collaboration of GoodLife Innovations and the University of Kansas Department of Applied Behavioral Sciences. As a care provider, GoodLife was no stranger to the pain of staffing shortages, competition from other industries, unsteady schedules, vacancies, and work-life balance. Over the years, we leveraged our partnership with KU to develop new, innovative workforce solutions that we share with other agencies through our consultancy.
