Healthcare staff shortages are debilitating providers
The healthcare industry in the United States is currently facing significant staffing challenges that are taking a toll on healthcare providers across the nation, according to The National Center for Healthcare Leadership (NCHL).
In this article, we share how pre-hire assessments help you to make huge strides in addressing healthcare staffing challenges and how you can join an upcoming webinar discussion that sheds light on the industry challenges.
How do pre-hire assessments address healthcare staffing challenges?
Recognizing that solving this complex challenge won’t happen overnight, organizations are taking substantial steps forward by reevaluating their pre-hire assessments. These assessments play a pivotal role in not only identifying qualified candidates but also in retaining them.
One significant aspect to consider is the ‘Candidate Expectation Gap,’ which contributes to up to 55 percent of new hires deciding to move on from their positions. This gap highlights the mismatch between what candidates expect from a job and what the actual role entails. Bridging this gap is essential for improving employee retention.
Surprisingly, organizations can influence key performance indicators (KPIs) related to reducing unfilled positions, enhancing staff retention, and increasing workforce productivity even before candidates are officially hired. The use of effective and realistic pre-hire assessments can set the stage for better outcomes.
