Healthcare Turnover – The Cost, the Causes, and a Sustainable Solution

http://go.beckershospitalreview.com/healthcare-turnover-the-cost-the-causes-and-a-sustainable-solution

While most organizations measure turnover and try to improve it, many don’t really understand its cost or causes, and fewer still take a holistic, effective approach to attracting and retaining the best talent, at every level of the organization.

This interactive panel discussion will explore turnover from multiple perspectives. HR leaders from two of the nation’s largest not-for-profit health systems and an expert in hiring, selection, and turnover will discuss the cost of turnover and the ROI of improving retention, the issues and variables that drive turnover, and their impact on broader organizational goals. After exploring what really goes into understanding turnover, the panel will share what they’ve learned about what works, what doesn’t, and an approach to the problem that can be tailored to your situation – and that can be sustained.

It’s important to remember that every interview is a two-way street.

You should be assessing the employer just as much as they’re assessing you because you both need to walk away convinced that the job would be a great fit.

So when the tables are turned and the interviewer asks, “Do you have any questions for me?” take advantage of this opportunity. It’s the best way to determine if you’d be happy working for this employer, and whether your goals are aligned with theirs.

In recent years, many businesses have put a premium on improving employee health—often through investments in workplace wellness programs, onsite clinics, or the availability of fruit and vegetables on the premises.

Ostensibly, these programs are intended to generate a return on investment (ROI), with the thought that healthier employees are more productive employees, less likely to miss work, and more prepared to fulfill their potential.

Robert Gates

IN A TIME when change is not just inevitable, but must be encouraged and led, Robert Gates’ A Passion for Leadership is a must read.

Gates has led and continues to lead in a wide variety of organizations and organizational cultures. His collected wisdom serves to inspire us to lead others where they don’t often want to go and improve people’s lives. In addition to serving on numerous corporate boards, he has served as a United States secretary of defense, a director of the CIA, served eight presidents, served as president of Texas A&M University, and is currently the chancellor of the College of William and Mary and president of the Boy Scouts of America.

The one feature of the institutions with strong cultures he has led has beena strong sense of family. He describes it as a “commitment to taking care of one another at all times but especially in adversity or times of need.” All great cultures do have this sense of family.

You may already be thinking of a leader who operated in the red zone (in the graphic above), creating a toxic environment that caused emotional harm.

Respect at the highest level incorporates positive intent and impact.
