New healthcare employees want to feel appreciated and valued. This is the number one most critical need to engaging them to perform at the highest level and creates a place they want to stay according to a study released today by the Center for Talent Retention, the leader in taking action to engage and retain employees.
(HRMarketer/PRWeb) April 25, 2008 -- New healthcare employees from participating organizations, identified what was most critical to them, rated current performance on the 50 variables that impact engagement and retention, and indicated how long they plan to stay with the organization. Also released in this study, the highest performing most critical need for new healthcare employees is “I have a network of people I can turn to if I need help” and the lowest performing most critical need is “My salary is competitive in the marketplace.”
Dale Spartz, VP – Human Resources for John C. Lincoln Network, used their survey data to take action. “By understanding what is most critical to our new employees, we were able to prioritize where to take action to improve engagement and retention”.
The SVP – HR from one of the participating organizations, a Texas multi-hospital system, currently has a number of retention efforts underway and is reviewing their initiatives to make sure they are hitting on their employee’s most critical needs. According to Derrick Barton, Center for Talent Retention’s CEO, “This organization is using their data to take action and make sure they are taking the right actions. The sole reason to survey your employees is to take action.”
What Matters to Engaging and Retaining NEW Healthcare Employees identifies the top 10 most critical needs, current performance on the top 10 most critical needs, how long employees plan to stay in their current job and how long they plan to stay with their organization. The report goes on to show how different demographics impact the results. The demographics studied are 1) Job Categories – is there a difference on how nurses rate current performance on the Work, Work Environment, Manager Actions and Organization variables compared to other roles 2) Full-time compared to Part-time Status – are part-time employees rating current performance the same, higher or lower than their full-time counterparts, 3) Length of Service with the organization – does the length of time employees have worked for an organization effect how they rate current performance and do current performance ratings drop more quickly for certain
variables. The report contains recommendations as well as sample solutions to take action to engage and retain your employees.
All participating healthcare organizations are members of The Leader’s Board.
