Even though Covid isn’t the main topic of the news anymore, it is still making people sick. Proper healthcare has been vital to the efforts against the illness. That’s why we need our healthcare workers to remain happy and healthy. Healthy so they don’t end up like their patients, and happy so they don’t need a reason to switch careers. Here are some tips to ensure that happens.
Make Sure Your Ads Stand Out from the Rest
Suppose you want your healthcare agency to be known for quality healthcare staffing services. In that case, you want your ads to command more attention. That job posting will be the applicant’s first impression of your company. What is written on that page will determine whether the person will stop to apply or move on to the next listing.
It helps to think of the job listing as an ad for your company. The ad should hit the following marks:
- It needs to gain the candidate’s interest to draw them in and make them want to learn more about the company and position.
- Include all the skills, tasks, and expectations the job will require.
- Connect with the reader by mentioning your company culture, mission, and core values.
- Highlight important information, such as benefits, workplace and schedule flexibility, bonuses, and anything else that would make a person want to work for you.
Being transparent in what you can offer someone in return can build an excellent professional relationship.
Take an Interest in Your Employees’ Professional Development
Organizations that promote learning in their company culture show interest in their employees ‘growth.
According to a survey done in 2019, 86% of professionals said they would change jobs if it allowed more opportunities for personal development. Employees who get these advantages are 15% more engaged with their work and have a 34% higher retention rate. The bottom line is that it pays to be invested in your employees. They will be happier, more interested in their work, and will feel a sense of loyalty to your company.
These are just a couple of ways to improve on getting and retaining excellent staff members. As you can see, employees like transparency in a business’s belief system and what they can receive from working for them. It also helps establish loyalty to the company by being active in an employee’s growth.
