BALTIMORE, March 18, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Arena is leveraging its data science-based technology and forming partnerships with the hospitality sector in order to support the looming crisis in post-acute care staffing.

Post-acute care providers require stable staffing to ensure residents are cared for properly. But with current 20-50% worker turnover rates and the pending threat of COVID-19 impacting the health of residents and caregivers, the need to hire effectively and efficiently is more urgent than ever.

"The pending escalation in COVID-19 patients are projected to disproportionately affect our vulnerable seniors and the heroic healthcare workers who currently care for them," notes Arena founder and CEO, Michael Rosenbaum.

To help stave off a crisis, Arena will offer its 'sourcing product' as a complimentary service to clients in the senior living and skilled nursing sectors, from spring through September. This offering combines Arena's evolving partnerships with hospitality sector corporations who have ceased hiring and its premiere predictive analytics service that identifies job candidates who are most likely to achieve desired outcomes -- specific to role and community.

For organizations who are not yet Arena clients, a new contract for predictive analytics services will include an integration with this sourcing product offering.

"Our hearts go out to those on the front lines of healthcare," says Rosenbaum, "We are happy our technology can help identify former employees from other sectors who can succeed at essential healthcare jobs in this critical period."
