Adam Lewis — GM, Talent and Workforce Management, Viventium — Founder, Apploi
Mar 3000:20:36Tap to summarizeU.S. job growth is struggling nearly everywhere. It's because of health care that we have to say "nearly." Health care hiring continues to be a major driver of job growth even as other sectors begin to cool, with a vast labor gap between the industry and the rest of the economy. In fact, a recent piece from the New York Times showed that in 2025, health care and related professions added 693,000 jobs, "and without those additions, the economy would have lost 570,000 jobs." This is where Apploi steps in — and it's why Viventium was moved to acquire Apploi. In today's episode of DISRUPT from Home Health Care News, sponsored by Viventium, Viventium General Manager of Talent and Workforce Management Adam Lewis — and founder of Apploi — discusses the state of home-based care labor, its impact on operations, retention, and financial performance and the role that technology and workforce management strategies play in stabilizing staffing.
