Provider interviews included employees and managerial and human resources staff in profit and non\u2010profit services who did, and did not, have COVID\u201019 outbreaks. Sector interviews included representatives from peak bodies, unions, government, academics, advocates, labour hire and registered training organisations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Results<\/jats:title>There was broad but not total agreement on SSE\u2010GP's effectiveness. Beyond specific SSE\u2010GP feedback, six strategic workforce issues were identified. The quality of resident care was mixed, sometimes improved and sometimes diminished. The extent of employees' multiple jobholding surprised many providers, and rostering and unplanned absenteeism are a substantial strain for both providers and employees. Innovative work practices are often difficult for smaller providers lacking employment relations specialists. Future SSE\u2010GP is seen by larger providers as voluntary and organisation\u2010 rather than facility\u2010specific, and unions saw only mandated SSE\u2010GP as appropriate for future outbreaks. Last, all staff, management and executives had additional stress that placed their well\u2010being at risk.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>Conclusions<\/jats:title>Although SSE\u2010GP revealed new and existing weaknesses in the Australian RACF workforce, the broad industry consultation and collaboration demonstrated that the sector can meet COVID\u201019's urgent and complex challenges. The experience provided lessons for further workforce challenges that remain to be addressed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ajag.13072","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,23]],"date-time":"2022-04-23T06:03:52Z","timestamp":1650693832000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Single\u2010site employment (multiple jobholding) in residential aged care: A response to COVID<\/scp>\u201019 with wider workforce lessons"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7106-8972","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Denise Mary","family":"Jepsen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management, Health & Wellbeing Research Unit, Macquarie Business School, and Centre for Ageing Cognition and Wellbeing Macquarie University Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robyn Toni","family":"Barker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Management, Macquarie Business School Macquarie University Sydney New South Wales Australia"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,4,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ajag.12982"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1073\/pnas.2015455118"},{"volume-title":"COVID\u201019 Reveals: Multi\u2010Stakeholder Perspectives on Single Site Employment Guiding Principles in Residential Aged Care Facilities, Discussion and Roadmap","year":"2020","author":"Jepsen DM","key":"e_1_2_9_4_1"},{"volume-title":"A Matter of Care: Australia's Aged Care Workforce Strategy","year":"2018","author":"Aged Care Workforce Strategy Taskforce","key":"e_1_2_9_5_1"},{"volume-title":"Aged Care and COVID\u201019: A Special Report","year":"2020","author":"Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety","key":"e_1_2_9_6_1"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/13645570600659433"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1191\/1478088706qp063oa"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_9_1","unstructured":"MavromarasK KnightG IsherwoodL et al.2016 National Aged Care Workforce Census and Survey\u2013The Aged Care Workforce 2016.
