DALLAS, June 25, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ShiftKey , a technology company transforming healthcare by advancing empowered work, and OnShift , a ShiftKey brand, today announced the results from their annual "Senior Care Survey Report: Workforce 360." The report highlights key workforce trends shaping the future of senior care, including increased demand, continuing workforce shortages and concerning levels of healthcare worker burnout. The data was gathered collaboratively via a first-party research survey targeting three audiences: senior care leaders, senior care employees and senior care independent professionals. Over 4,700 individuals actively engaged in the field provided insights on industry sentiment, operational challenges, workforce dynamics and overall outlooks on the future of senior care. The report covers a range of industry insights, from technology trends to perks employees want that they're not being offered. These insights point to the need for better communication between senior care leaders and their direct care workforces. They also highlight a chronic industry issue: A staggering 57% of employees name burnout and stress among their top three reasons for considering a career change. This can only be solved by increasing the number of nursing professionals in the field, whether as employees or independent professionals. "We've been sounding the alarm on healthcare worker burnout for years, especially in relation to chronic workforce shortages and the lack of flexibility most healthcare professionals are afforded," said Regan Parker, Chief Legal and Public Affairs Officer at ShiftKey. "This research underscores a need to support all direct care workers so they can continue to care for the most vulnerable among us." Highlights from the report "We're proud to offer tools and technology that enable long-term care facilities to redefine the workforce experience," said ShiftKey CEO Mike Vitek. "We hope our latest research will help senior care leaders and workers build a shared understanding so they can work together to solve the industry's existential problems."
