The challenges that healthcare leaders face are many, and workforce challenges are among the most important. For most healthcare entities, the workforce is their largest expense. Fortunately, many issues can be avoided with proper planning and review.Workforce planning is both a science (analysis) and an art (execution). It comprises a set of business processes for analyzing the supply and demand of talent in an organization and determining how that supply and demand might change over time. Turnover rates, retirement projections, and retention data are some of the tools commonly used in the workforce planning process. Because the increase in healthcare jobs is expected to outpace growth in all other fields and industries, recruitment and retention will be matters of special interest to all healthcare leaders during the next several years.
医疗保健行业领导者面临的挑战众多,而劳动力方面的挑战是最为重要的挑战之一。对于大多数医疗保健机构而言,劳动力是其最大的开支。幸运的是,通过合理规划和审查,许多问题是可以避免的。劳动力规划既是一门科学(分析),也是一门艺术(执行)。它包括一系列业务流程,用于分析组织中人才的供需情况,并确定这些供需情况随时间可能如何变化。员工流失率、退休预测和留用数据是劳动力规划过程中常用的一些工具。由于预计医疗保健行业的就业增长将超过所有其他领域和行业的增长,在未来几年,招聘和留用将成为所有医疗保健领导者特别关注的问题。
