Stay Ahead of the Coming Talent Crunch

One of your biggest challenges as a healthcare leader now and in years to come is going to be finding and keeping great talent. A recent study from Leaders for Today reported that “hospitals face unprecedented turnover and attrition rates”. The crunch is coming and hospitals need to get ready. If you don’t have a great culture – a culture of ownership that inspires commitment and loyalty – that is going to be a serious challenge indeed. And a very expensive challenge. The cost of turnover can be 5% or more of a hospital’s total operating cost. In this informative, inspiring, and example-rich presentation Joe shares a proven model and essential strategies to recruit, inspire, and retain great talent.
