RECRUITMENT & RETENTION STRATEGIES
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
This year, in 2006, the huge generation of Baby Boomers begins turning 60! They are on the brink of creating an unsurpassed need for health care! But while we are focusing on this influx of patients and clients, we must also recognize that at the exact same time, Baby Boomer nurses, professional & technical employees will reach retirement age and leave the system. These two powerful forces are likely to create unprecendented shortages of health care workers. Organizations must not only solve today's shortage problems, but also prepare for an uncertain futue. Who will we hire to care for our patients and clients?
This comprehensive seminar is designed to provide tools for both successful recruitment and effective retention of high-quality employees. The program focuses on the fact that organizations must solve both recruitment and retention problems in order to succeed finacially. If recruitment is a difficult problem to solve; then retention is enormous. If recruitment is costly; then retention problems are more costly. Lack of success in either area impacts patient satisfaction and safety, and greatly impacts staff morale.
Getting to the core of retention problems can go a long way to solve recruitment problems. Simple? Not in today's market. Just as organizational culture impacts recruitment and retention, recruitment and retention impact culture. Thus both must be dealt with as organizational issues. No single individual or department can solve either issue alone. It takes departments working together seamlessly. Chief nurse executives, DONs, clinical managers, recruiters, H.R. porfessionals, administrators and many others are involved in the process and are encouraged to attend this seminar. This seminar focuses on everyone's role in recruitment and retention and will offer strategies that can be implemented in H.R. as well as in the nursing department by clinical managers and directors. Those organizations with attendees from various departments may begin the solution before they leave. Ms. Cullen will lead you through a process that requires commitment on every level, but, when followed produces positive results.
