ARE INSPECTIONS STRESSING YOU OUT?

Preparing for a state inspection can be all consuming, and there aren’t enough hours in the day to get everything ready. You lay awake in your bed at night worrying about this form and that binder. And when you do sleep, you have dreams about compliance paperwork. It just never ends.

If you feel this way, you are not alone. Many of our customers felt the same. Here at Five Star, we’ve called this behavioral response Compliance Anxiety. See if you recognize any of these symptoms:

• Frustration: No matter how much time you put in, you’re never getting ahead. Just when you think you have it all figured out, you realize that you’re missing some forms. 
• Juggling: You’re trying to run a childcare center and prepare for an inspection simultaneously. With both of these demands, you can’t do either very well.
• Stress: A failed inspection can close your doors and have a far-reaching economic impact on your business. Worrying about it always has you on edge. 
• Uncertainty: You never really know if you have all the correct paperwork ready. There’s just so much of it, and it’s so hard to keep track of.
• Exhaustion: The stress and added workload is running you into the ground. You are constantly running on fumes, and it’s taking its toll on you physically and mentally. 

Unfortunately, Compliance Anxiety is very real for most owners and admins. As the inspection looms closer, the symptoms become more intense. They can cause very real issues at work and at home. 

It doesn’t have to be this way. Five Star’s one of a kind registration software can make preparing for an inspection a stress free event.
