Goodlife U
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. You’ll learn about our research and case studies as we discuss how our strategies can help your organization thrive.
Discovery
During the next 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 proposals for your organization allowing you the flexibility to choose the best approach for your organization. Our listen-first approach ensures your proposals are customized to maximize your ROI.
Program Analysis & Redesign
Once your team has selected a proposal, GoodLife U partners with your organization to help analyze schedules, optimize your payroll, and make other recommendations for improving the experience of your direct care workforce. We have years of experience in nonprofit consulting and we bring all our expertise into the process.
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.
Benefits
Real Results You Can Depend On

Increased Worker Capacity
With our solutions, DSPs’ capacity to work increased by 24,877 shifts annually while still guaranteeing at least 2 days off a week. Better schedules support a more consistent workforce and result in a higher quality of care for individuals served.

Optimized Payroll
We’ve been able to raise the hourly wage for DSP workers by $3.08 within the existing payroll budgets of the organizations that work with our nonprofit consulting.
-
Reduced Overtime
With optimized schedules, overtime is reduced, workers experience a better work-life balance, and managerial satisfaction increases. Plus, a more positive work environment attracts new applicants to help grow the number of workers.

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.
What we learned from the GoodLife team about schedules and pay strategies has made a huge impact here. We are still facing an uphill battle with the DSP crisis, but we feel armed and ready. Next we are preparing for integration with iLink, which is extremely exciting. Our industry faces real challenges, but partnering with GoodLife has been positive and empowering.
