Yz-Lab has launched Yz-index, a diagnostic model for nursing care and disability welfare facilities. The model was developed from 18 years of experience and a 31-month period of zero staff turnover. It organizes operational issues across recruitment, retention, manager support, forms, payments, and collaboration, aiming to help managers prioritize and address problems. The launch comes amid persistent labor shortages and high turnover in the sector.
According to a 2024 survey by the Japan Care Work Foundation, the turnover rate for home care workers and care staff combined was 12.4%, and 65.2% of facilities reported feeling a shortage of employees. The most common reason for leaving a previous care job was problems with workplace relationships, at 24.7%. Yz-Lab's new Yz-index diagnostic model is designed to help facility managers organize these issues before consulting professionals. It covers recruitment, retention, manager systems, forms, payments, operations, and collaboration, drawing on 18 years of facility management experience and a 31-month stretch of zero turnover among care staff.
