As someone deeply entrenched in the world of healthcare staffing, I've been reflecting on the trends shaping our industry's future. One key area that stands out to me is the evolving landscape of talent acquisition and retention in healthcare. With the ongoing challenges of talent shortages, increasing demand for specialized skills, and the importance of maintaining high-quality patient care, healthcare staffing is at a pivotal moment. But amidst these challenges lie immense opportunities for innovation and growth. Here are a few trends I believe will shape the future of healthcare staffing: 1️⃣ Rise of Telehealth: The pandemic accelerated the adoption of remote work in many industries, including healthcare. How can we leverage this trend to attract top talent and provide flexible staffing solutions while ensuring patient care remains a top priority? 2️⃣ Competitive Salary and Benefit Structures: As the demand for healthcare professionals continues to rise, how can organizations ensure their salary structures remain competitive to attract and retain top talent? What strategies can we employ to benchmark salaries against industry standards while accounting for regional variations and cost-of-living differences? Beyond salary, healthcare professionals are increasingly prioritizing benefits such as health insurance, retirement plans, and professional development opportunities. How can organizations tailor their benefits packages to meet the evolving needs and preferences of their workforce while remaining cost-effective? 3️⃣ Technology Integration: From AI-driven candidate matching to virtual interviews, technology is revolutionizing the way we recruit and retain healthcare professionals. How can we harness the power of technology to streamline processes, improve efficiency, and enhance the overall candidate experience? 4️⃣ Investment in Employee Well-being: The well-being of healthcare workers has never been more important. How can we support the physical, mental, and emotional health of our staff to prevent burnout and promote long-term retention? A healthcare system is only as good as its clinicians and employees. We must prioritize taking care of our healthcare professionals to ensure they can continue providing high-quality care to patients. I'd love to hear your thoughts and insights on this topic! 🌟💬 #Telehealth #Healthcare #Wellness #HealthyLiving #Medical #HealthTech #DigitalHealth #HealthForAll #Medicine #Fitness #PublicHealth #HealthTips #MentalHealth #Nutrition #HealthcareIT #HealthTalk #HealthyLifestyle #HealthAndWellness #HealthcareJobs #HealthcareProfessionals #Telemedicine

Why am I hopeful about a change in the funding, attention and priortization of women's health? The newest reason on the list is the launch of Women's Health PAC. The amazing Jodi Neuhauser, Liz Powell and Candace McDonald have launched this bipartisan PAC. This can be a transformative moment (and movement) for women's health across our entire lifecycles. #womenshealth https://lnkd.in/eRUFHnBT

In the ever-evolving landscape of healthcare, selecting the right staffing model is critical not only for patient care but also for nurturing the well-being of our nurses. This article from HealthLeaders highlights how Chief Nursing Officers (CNOs) play a pivotal role in balancing the demands of patient care with the needs of their staff. As we navigate staffing challenges, it’s essential to prioritize models that support both clinical outcomes and the mental health of your nursing teams. The right approach can reduce burnout, improve retention, and ultimately lead to better patient outcomes. For those in leadership, it's a reminder that the choices you make today will shape the future of your healthcare workforce. Let's continue to support and uplift our frontline heroes by selecting staffing models that truly care for them.

Yesterday, I had the honor of moderating a thought-provoking panel at the #AHPInternationalConference, discussing one of today’s biggest questions: “Attracting and Retaining Talent: Compensation or Culture?” Our brilliant panelists—Nancy Bussani (CommonSpirit Health), Anne Rasmussen, MBA,CFRE (PeaceHealth), Harvey Green, FAHP, CFRE (WellSpan Health), Susan Dolbert (City of Hope), and David L. Flood (Intermountain Health)—brought such valuable insights to the table: ☑ Culture as the Key to Retention: Nancy highlighted how aligning personal values with organizational culture creates lasting retention. ☑ Human Touch in AI Hiring: Dave reminded us that AI must serve humanity, not replace it, ensuring hiring stays respectful and dignified. ☑ The Power of Personal Stories: Harvey encouraged leaders to move beyond the resume, embracing each person’s unique career journey. ☑ Creating Belonging from Day One: Anne emphasized purpose-driven hiring and development, fostering belonging and growth. ☑ Assessments as a Hiring and Retention Tool: Susan advocated for using assessments to inform hiring decisions while also trusting your instincts completely. I’m grateful to these leaders for sharing their “aha” career moments, from managing generational needs to asking the right “stay questions” that help teams thrive. If you’re hiring, consider this: Are we building an environment people truly want to stay in? #LeadershipDevelopment #WorkingGenius #BryantGrp #TeamPerformance #ExecutiveSearch #moxie #runwithscissors #uncommononpurpose
