When staff take a break, who supports your clients?

As the Easter break approaches, keeping care consistent for your clients can become more challenging while regular staff take well-deserved breaks.

Understanding that filling gaps can create challenges for you, our Head of Business Partnerships at Mable, Luke van Schie, recently put together a trend report. Throughout, he draws on his 25 years of experience in the sector to break down the real cost of covering support shifts over seasonal periods.

The report covers:

  • The difficulties providers face over school holidays and public holiday periods in finding consistent support for clients.
  • The potential costs of going with a labour hire agency versus using the Mable platform.
  • How the easy-to-use tooling and flexibility of no lock-in contracts on Mable can ease the pressure of staffing shortfalls.

"These periods create significant gaps in care coverage, as staff take leave and public holiday entitlements carry high penalty rates or require expensive agency cover to maintain service continuity."
