Tamara Mosidze: Redefining Home Health Care

Meet Tamara Mosidze, the founder and CEO of Premier Care LLC, which is a fully bonded and insured, dedicated non-medical home care service provider licensed in Connecticut and New York.

With a dream and vision to make a better life for herself, her family, and others in need Tamara immigrated to America from the country of Georgia 23 years ago. Before embarking on her professional journey she used her knowledge in health care and began working with Greenwich physicians, caring for their patients for over 15 years. Work experience and instant rapport with physicians and other health care workers earned Tamara a stellar reputation as a caregiver extraordinaire and smart businesswoman.

In 2015, Tamara followed her passion and started Premier Care LLC, an award-winning, non-medical home care agency offering affordable care for seniors and individuals with chronic or acute conditions. Premier Care’s services are provided in homes, assisted leaving, and senior facilities. Premier Care operates on the belief with the right kind of assistance and support, individuals can remain safely in their own houses, where people feel the greatest sense of purpose and they are most comfortable and happy.

Premier Care LLC’s services include Companion and Homemaker, Personal Care, and Specialized Care Services.

Solving Client’s Requirements

As an organization, Premier Care serves high-profile clients. The clients are mostly seniors, others with disabilities, chronic and acute conditions. Tamara’s team does free assessment and evaluation to learn about the client’s needs, including their medical history, level of care, personality, and lifestyle. Premier Care creates uniquely designed care plans for each client and then the organization matches the right individual by his/her background, personality, and work experience. Tamara believes each client is unique and requires a special approach and attention to certain details for a successful outcome.

Premier Care’s caregivers are special people with special skills, they are educated, intelligent, honest, and kind. Tamara and her team handpick each employee, they have mastered their skills choosing the right people. Tamara is an advocate of her clients, the client is a priority, then she supports the employees, they are the ones who shine this company.

The Pandemic

During the pandemic most caregiving agencies experienced a decrease in demand for home visits, reflecting clients’ concern about infection, family members assuming care duties, and/or aides being unavailable for work. However, Premier Care was able to maintain a healthy and safe environment within the agency, taking all necessary actions to keep clients and caregivers safe. So, the agency switched home visits by zoom calls and other online services. Under Tamara’s leadership, the organization started developing more extensive infection prevention policies, procedures, and workforce training and sourcing personal protective equipment (PPE).

During the pandemic, Premier Care updated its approach to business, as many other companies have and most administrative work, appointments, and interviews were done online. The world became digital and Tamara alongside her team adopted a new lifestyle very quickly and safely. Life felt different, times were very challenging, clients felt isolated, as care giving company, Premier Care had to give a tremendous amount of support. Despite all of the challenges, Premier Care has maintained a good reputation, demand is still growing, need for home care services has also increased.

Entrepreneurship in a Male-Dominated Society

Tamara says, “It’s ironic that most home care agency owners are males and have strong business and money-making skills. Some of them even come from wall street or banking backgrounds to do home health care business. Women are different than men and we have a different approach for this type of business.” She also adds, “We put our hearts and souls in what we do, we personalize our service., we hear peoples’ problems, we salve their problems and we take very good care of our employees.”

Although she believes, the Home Health Care field has the majority of female workers, who include nurses, social workers, case managers, and doctors.

When it comes to entrepreneurship, Tamara considers it as the core of the American Dream and there are several approaches to it including Sociological, Psychological, Political, etc. She feels entrepreneurship is a constant desire to make things better, ability to recognize opportunity, and create value. Each client gives Premier Care different ideas and requires a different approach, for Tamara and her team, it’s a learning curve and one rule doesn’t apply to all. Clients have different ethnicities and different cultures, it’s critically important to have the ability to understand the feelings and needs of others. Tamara feels she and her team needs to be good leaders and role models to their employees, that’s what makes them want to follow them. She feels, an entrepreneur is not a common person, they have creative, managerial, and imaginative skills and this kind of personality develops in a person who has a strong motivation for achievement.

Future Roadmap

Tamara says, “We are maintaining an excellent reputation and 5-star reviews for the past 6 years.” The agency creates a happy environment for its workers and clients as well, especially during these most unpredictable and complicated times. Premier Care LLC is a rising star amongst many other competitors. Tamara Mosidze is planning to expand her agency in new locations and expand services nationwide.

Suggestions for Young Female Entrepreneurs

Tamara Mosidze is an immigrant from another country, plus as a female, speaking with a foreign accent, many years worked very hard and became one of luckiest people and now, her story is a true success story. She says, “America is the country where all your dreams come true. Dream and dream again, have a passion, have a goal, be honest, stay positive, work hard and never give up, if I did it, you can do it.” Her story inspires others. She sees things differently than others. Tamara Mosidze adds, “When you get to this stage where you see your potential and capabilities, your mind opens wider, all your fears fade and you are in control benefiting yourself and others as well. Be open-minded and never mean, rude, insecure or jealous. Learn from your mistakes. Be happy for others and always give help. Generosusity is magic word, you must give whether it’s good emotion or a monatery thing. Concentrate on quality only and don’t let greed control you. Do what you are good at, what is your talent, what your heart tells you, and it will all happen naturally. Every person has some skills, they just have to use them and they will succeed.”

The ability to read situations and react quickly is a key trait for entrepreneurs, but it isn’t always present.

Her ability to communicate effectively, listen empathetically, drive innovation through creative problem-solving, and plan strategically is one of a kind.

Early Life

Victoria’s passion for inspiring people started at a very young age at a little white church in Beaumont, Texas. There she learned the power of the spoken word and the art of delivering a message with rhythm and genuine emotion in a powerful way. She soon started writing poetry at eleven and spoken word at about 16, fascinated by language and its ability to take people on an emotional journey. As a teen, Victoria wanted to know everything there was to know about, how to uplift and inspire people, and after the military how to heal them too.

Victoria joined the Navy as an Aviation electronics technician and it taught her how much she loved helping other people and the discipline it requires to be good at it. The military showed her what it means to lead a group through some of the toughest environments mentally, physically, and emotionally. And it left her wanting to do more, so hours after being honorably discharged she took her first psychology class. She fell in love! Discovering the science behind how the mind works felt like Disneyland, learning how mailable the brain is, and how thoughts create energetic waves was fascinating. About 6 months after getting her BS in Psychology She started working on Certifications to better assist the people she was advising. Victoria got her Certifications as a Green and Blackbelt Project Manager and learned how to translate goals and desires into achievable projects.

Throughout her career, Victoria has received many awards for her leadership skills, ability to facilitate perspective shifts, spoken word performances, and lyrical eloquence.

Victory Is Us also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee for any reason on all packages, so clients can trust its commitment to providing services that are the best fit for them.

When the Pandemic Came

According to Victoria Thompson, “Studies show Covid has had a huge impact in the business coaching industry. One of the key driving factors for the business coaching industry is disposable income so when people have less income, they are less likely to hire a coach. The pandemic has caused me to shift from in-person sessions and speaking events to virtual. Victory Is Us LLC developed more virtual courses and workshops, we even had Facebook and WhatsApp groups that have become pretty popular.”

Challenges from the Male-Dominated Society

As a women entrepreneur in a male-dominated nation the biggest challenge Victoria Thompson has faced is unconscious bias. She says, “the powerful force of unconscious bias works subtly against women entrepreneurs. It refers to the inherent stereotypes we all develop regarding people such as beliefs about others based on ethnicity or gender. We are unknowingly influenced by these biases, which effects our interactions and decisions without truly knowing we are doing it. Some bias’s women face specifically include double-bind bias and assumption bias, which presents a challenge for me and any woman in leadership.”

Victoria’s approach to entrepreneurship is to constantly develop higher levels of self-awareness. According to her, just like in the military, the journey of an entrepreneur requires quite a bit of self-mastery to thrive. “The better I am able to understand myself as a person, my strengths and weaknesses, the better prepared I can set and accomplish the goals I’ve created. Understanding how I am perceived by others and how that is constantly evolving helps improve my interpersonal relationships.”

Victoria Thompson believes, another challenge faced by various women leaders who are slowly emerging, is the lack of sponsorships, which eventually stops the growth of many female entrepreneurs. According to Harvard Business Review, women struggles more than their male counterpart to reach the c-suite due to the lack of good sponsorships, which provides much-needed steppingstone opportunities. “

Motivating Leadership Teams

The vision for Victory Is Us LLC is to: “inspire, motivate, and support both young and senior leadership teams through building self-awareness, selfmanagement, and problem-solving skills to master a lucrative career and passionate personal life.” During the next 3-5 years Victoria Thompson plans to focus on acquiring funding for expansion, increasing brand awareness, building clientele, and further developing the organization’s Spoken Free Project. The Spoken Free Project is a rehabilitation program designed to help marginalized youth gain the skills necessary to transition back into society in a meaningful way. Victory is Us LLC’s goal is to expand from one correctional facility to the rest of the region within the next 5 years.

Some of the advantages of data are:

Decision- making

Data is the solid foundation behind the decision-making of many companies. It provides evidence and insights, which directly helps in the decision-making.

In many well-known companies, cutting-edge analytics process large amounts of external and internal data. The data is quickly analyzed to get the answers to the problem that a company is facing. The data produces valuable answers and insights to the business problem.

For example, if a team of people can not decipher the reason behind the fall of the profit of one of the products, then they can reach out to the solution of data analysis. The data will give them the answer like- due to overpricing of the product compared to other businesses, the product incurred the loss. So, insights like this are helpful. But one thing is Companies should standardize the access of data. Like the IT cell or data-analysts should not only access it, all the departments of the company should have the access so that they can make better decisions with it.

Data Personalized Content

The art of knowing what a customer or a buyer wants way before they even know that themselves means that a business can make their campaigns related to the market more personalized therefore making it better. A company can approach the process of data analysis to understand their customer and make a marketing approach that will attract a specific group of audience that they need for their business.

Some big companies have created a device. That will collect data on customer interaction and what they want to buy.

Data helps a company to analyze the effects of new products or services. And how they will help in the profit margin of the business.

Many theme parks use a device to interpret data on visitors’ behavior. So that they can create a more magical experience for people.

Development of product and services

Data analytics help enterprises understand their current business progress efficiently. It offers well-designed statistics that predict the future and provide knowledge on the recent market trends.

Data transformation services help in product analysis.

Product analysis is essential for companies because it gives a thorough knowledge of the performance of the product.

From discovering the best part of the product to why customers buy it, people can get every detail with data analysis. It backs up in the process of predictive analysis. Like if a company designs a product. How it will perform in the future market can be explored through the method of data analysis.

Another thing called data metrics is used by big banks too. The data metrics help to understand the client’s needs better. The banks use transactional data to spot whether a customer has paid twice for a financial service.

For example, if a person purchases travel insurance that is already there with a bank account. Then through data metrics, the bank understands the problem and informs that to the customer.

The process increases customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Cost reduction

Data is not only about the improvement of business or customer satisfaction. It is also about how a company can increase revenue and make additional profit.

Many companies use data to redefine the traditional methods.

Data also gathers information on a customer and their process of spending their money. This results in companies understanding how their business is performing compared to their competitors.

With data analysis, a business can come up with innovative ways of increasing its income.

Similarly, companies can make use of the GPS data from our smartphones through routing. It saves extra money for the company. GPS is not new though its new advanced features help businesses in saving both money and time.

Summing-up

As we saw, whatever the problem is, data is the solution for that.

With the usage of data transformation tools, any company can earn a large sum of profit. It offers enterprises the confidence with which they can defeat their rivals in the best way.

Everything is possible with data. Starting from targeting audiences, making strategies to improvise methods that are good for the business.

As the trend of Artificial intelligence and machine learning, is expanding day by day, the method we use analytics also keeps on growing and changing with us.

Earlier, the businesses only focused on gathering descriptive data about the customers and the products. But now, the companies started to believe in both descriptive and predictive analytics to be more precise about a customer’s behavior.

This analysis is helpful for your company because it states all the better methods you can use to enhance the profit of a project.

These are usually built for an entire organization. Here they can also be built for all the other smaller data marts that hold the subsets of big business organizations that hold the whole business or the individual departments or any business units. In this step, the data classification process is often used.

Here a big company usually has ties or has done deals with an enterprise data warehouse. In addition to that, they also store data on the data lakes, which are based on Hadoop clusters or other big data systems.

Virtual Onboarding – A Basic Checklist

Virtual onboarding is the process of integrating new employees into the workforce. Due to the global COVID19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns, many companies had to freeze hiring temporarily. However, now that it’s clear that remote working is the “new normal,” it’s crucial for organizations to have clear onboarding strategies for their new remote recruits.

Here are some activities and steps that recruitment managers can take to meaningfully connect their new hires with other remote workers on the team –

Clear Details

One of the unfortunate hallmarks of remote working is confusion. Many long-term employees struggle to follow instructions or understand project demands while working over the Internet. It’s normal for employees new to the organization to find remote working highly confusing for the first few weeks.

That’s why it is crucial to share clear and well-defined details about the organization, their responsibilities, etc., before their first day at the job.

Share organizational charts clarifying important names and titles that the recruit needs to learn on the first day.
Encourage other team members to bond with the recruits and help them memorize basic facts about the company, their responsibilities, etc.
To ensure remote recruits don’t feel isolated, partner them with existing employees. Managers shouldn’t hand the full responsibility of onboarding to subordinates. But, they shouldn’t refrain from delegation either.
Ask recruits about how they feel about their new workspace and culture.

Announce the Recruits

One of the most effective ways of welcoming recruits over the Internet is by making announcements. Traditional office initiations and announcements are tools that companies have always used to make recruits feel welcome. Carrying out these processes on the Internet is more rigid but not impossible.

Compose and share messages about the recruitment on group channels (e.g., Telegram groups).
Involve the recruits in video conference meetings. Make sure all members of the workforce are present on this call to welcome them into the company,
Send company-wide emails sharing details about the recruits.
Ask the recruits team-building questions in video conference meetings.

Team bonding is much more challenging when you’re working remotely. But that doesn’t make it less important.

Encourage Feedback

Whatever onboarding methods managers use to announce the recruits, they should always be open to feedback. Remote work is intrinsically isolating. The risks of miscommunication and misunderstandings are ever-present. The last thing managers need a recruit who feels unfulfilled or not included in their first week at the job.

Role-Specific Training

One or two hiring managers should oversee this part of the virtual onboarding process. Role-specific training processes typically last for a couple of weeks. During this process, hiring managers must –

Clarify team structure and roles
Establish clear expectations, both short and long-term
Give the recruits access to useful job-specific tools and resources that other members of the workforce use.
Describe typical days at work.
Explain how KPIs are tracked in the organization.

Joining a new organization will always be intimidating. To create comfortable environments for recruits, hiring managers must follow these steps to create safe spaces for them to explore, socialize, and ask questions about their new roles.

The insurance industry is working on digital process optimalisation. They are learning a lot: how can we develop new business models and special new service models, to support the needs of clients and to achieve the „heart of customers“.

For this purpose they use a design thinking approach, analyzing trends and using business model canvas. But they shouldn‘t learn only methods, but also how new technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, internet of things or predictive analytics work. This combination is very important to be „fit for the future“, to be a digital leader!

Because the digital leaders will be the winner and as you know „the winner takes it all“! I think, most of our challenges are coming from the complexity of digital transformation and the complexity of the insurance branche. How should we start? Should we start with processes, products, organization, clients or employees? Should we cooperate with a startup or should we be a startup, as digital insurer or should we found a venture and invest in startups? I realized, there are so many questions and also so many ideas developing step by step the digital insurance DNA for the next generation. As you know, today, to develop a digital approach, to change your legacy system, to develop your culture and organization, to „teach“ your clients to use your apps. It takes time to see the results and appropriate profits. If you invest into the future, you need enough resources (time, money, quality) to develop a long term perspective. The insurance industry is only on the starting point of this transformation journey.

I`ve prepared an „insurance landscape“ about the status of startups and insurance companies/corporate ventures from the perspective, whether they are cooperation or competition.

Our exponentional developing business life required a exponentional learning developing.

The insurance world was very closed world. From closed value chain from developing new insurance products, through sale the product and in case of damage regular the claims.

But the technology is supporting us to do our process more efficient, quick, to develop more customer convenience. Our InTa – Insury Talent Network supports young (re)insurance professionals & brokers to understand the new insurance innovation world and act like a “Champion“.

The insurance industry has the power to do the right things in the right direction with understanding the customers, education talents, develop the right vision, strategy and company culture, use the most important technology. If your „Innovation House“ ready is, you can do your job with passion and enthusiasm every day. Are you ready to understand and create a great insurance industry together?!

Kaleem & Madeeha: They revolutionised the South Australian businesses

“Taking a deep dive into the numbers is a not-so-secret passion for Kaleem and Madeeha, while finding their real joy in creating opportunities for the migrants. They are not just Business Partners but a lifelong companion”

The fearless couple, who revolutionised the South Australian Industry. Meet Kaleem Ulah and Madeeha Usman, the young entrepreneurs of Adelaide. When Usman, was offered her first role as an external auditor in PWC, within 20 days of her arrival in Australia, she was mentoring students of her age. The job was a well sought position, overseeing the external audits for a global organisation. While Kaleem, a well-trained engineer, found his passion in numbers. Being recognised by the official Institute of Public Accountants for his extraordinary vigilance and passion for accounting. Kaleem is known to be the support system for many SMEs. They are taking the accounting industry by storm. And, if you are visiting Adelaide, you are sure to be recommended by many!

This is the story of two most enigmatic leaders, who share the same vision but believe in bringing a different approach to the table and giving back to the community.

Going into Business…

In April 2016, Mr Ulah and Mrs Usman decided to start their own accounting firm. Every night, they would sit in their garage and brainstorm. Kaleem was quite popularly known by his Australian friends as Kaleem ‘Kal’. And one night, when Usman was trying to scribble and brainstorm, she was struck by an idea – And it was The Kalculators.

The Kalculators in two short years was supporting variety of entities – factory workers to multimillion – dollar turnover businesses such as pharmacies, retail stores, construction companies and service providers.

“Many of my clients are high net worth individuals, which we define as anyone with over $5 million in liquid financial assets. These clients are often either retired or run successful businesses including franchises, and managing stock portfolios and estates

When asked Usman, about the vision she brings,

“Everything we do, and the success we have, is due to our root vision of treating customers with transparency and equality”

While, Kaleem’s home-made tax form, was hitting a speedy road to success. Madeeha’s business vision towards creating a sustainable firm became the backbone of the organisation.

“I remember back in the day a client asked me why I was using my own Word printout. Everyone else was using computers and there I was with my piece of paper. But clients liked my resourcefulness, and years later my very first clients are still with me,” reveals Mr Ulah.

Two short years later, Madeeha and Kaleem were managing 10 offices throughout Adelaide and over 10,000 clients.

The couple owes their success to the fellow migrants. And believe, a leader must give back to the society to create a stronger root for the generations to come.

Kaleem and Madeeha have helped countless newcomers adjust to life in Australia.

“Most of my clients have migrated from other countries. They don’t know any accountants and they don’t know enough about the local laws. So, they need someone who can teach them and who can speak their own language,” says Mr Ulah.

“My wife and I thought, ‘we have the resources, we have everything, so let’s go and offer international students the opportunity to learn how to do tax returns’,” he explains.

“International students spend a lot of money on their studies, but finding employment for them, is very hard. The reason is that students are learning the theory, but lacking the practical experience,” says Mr Ulah.

“we have hired a professional trainer who trains the international students on how to use software and how to execute tax returns in real time. They also observe our accountants while they are on the job. Slowly we bring them to a professional level.”

“Once they complete it, we offer the dedicated ones a job in one of my offices,” he says.

So, eager to grow with their community, the couple allows international students to develop practical experience with the aim of easing their integration into the Australian workforce.

Madeeha, who is known to be the philanthropist by some, mentors for many, and Tax Lady by her team. Mentors students at the Oxford University, who are working towards their PHD dr.

Being recognised as one of the most powerful women in the accounting industry, Madeeha was honoured as an Ausmumpreneur in 2021. Usman encourages and supports young mothers to create a life of their own dreams.

Madeeha’s mentoring was a compelling one, she always conveyed the inspirational thought

– “If you fail don’t lose hope because as the wise saying goes, we can’t change the direction of the wind but we can certainly adjust the sales”

Yet being one of the most influential women in business, you can’t just dismiss Madeeha as an accountant. She is also the author of her recently launched book, “The Women Changing The World” – A story of her life and other powerful women, who choose to lead life the harder way – to set an example for women, who are still doubting their abilities to build themselves.

As per Madeeha, “This book is not only for women, but to inspire daughters, and sons, for the generations to come”

“Getting to the top at the expense of another woman is not a sustainable way to get ahead, and, most importantly, doesn’t help our case. The only way that women will be seen as equal in business is by making sure that there are more women accomplishing what they deserve in the workforce, and that takes encouragement”

“This book is not just stories, but real life journeys, relatable role models – where women in Australia are changing the world through entrepreneurialism, education, conscious living, advocacy and innovation”.

“Game Changers”

Madeeha and Kaleem both used their positions to encourage the young migrants to pursue their dream. As a result, The Kalculators earned recognition for “Diversity Inclusion” in 2021.

Employing over 100 young individuals from various cultural backgrounds. They believed opportunity is inclusive to all.

Also, being recognised as a finalist by Xero, a multimillion cloud accounting organisation. The Kalculators was recently recognised for its “Consulting service” and as a “Boutique firm” of 2021.

Creating ability through disability

Working with the clients in disability, they realised the provided service level suffered for the vulnerable. Even with the proper funding, many individuals with disabilities were unable to create an independent lives for themselves.

This is when, Care Assure was born…

Madeeha and Kaleem founded Care Assure – a disability housing and support provider in South Australia.

As the directors of Care Assure, we are not about making money; the role requires empathy and value creation. And working towards value creation is not easy, it is about constant quality assurance, to ensure your clients are being treated with care and respect.

Providing disability accommodations all over South Australia, Care Assure is recognised for the seamless service experience it provides.

Wielding Soft Power

As directors, it’s about more than the sales you do or the money you create; your clients are your centric value. In the current times of uncertainity, as organisations we must be sustainable, realistic and exercise quality control. The day you start working through hierarchy and consider yourself as a boss! You start to lose your ground as a leader.

Management should value transparency and respect. Not just profits or expenditures! Provide your team with the right resources and respect them for their own individuality. You will end up having a team of passionate individuals exceeding expectations.
