Building up a successful referral program allows the opportunity to hire many talented caregivers. Most highly trained and experienced caregivers will have peers who are just as trained and experienced as them. To start, there should be an incentive for the referral program. Establishing a caregiver acquisition cost will gauge how much should be spent on the rewards. Once this is done, introduce the program to current caregivers and explain the reward process. When the referrals start to come in, be sure to pay the caregivers immediately. Delaying the payment could potentially lead to discouraging the existing employees from participating any further.
