Maximizing Your Organization’s Productivity Begins With Utilizing Your LMS
Hiring time challenges
Even with recent mass layoffs and a saturated talent pool, the hiring process is still slow across all industries. The average hiring process in the U.S. is between 1-2 months (SHRM, 2022). However, this can vary based on industry or even role within the organization. For highly specialized roles the hiring process can go much longer.
Slow hiring times are detrimental to the productivity of the organization and have a heavy influence on employee burnout and ultimately turnover. Even extremely efficient hiring processes can take longer than wanted based on factors out of your control; scheduling, availability, or quality of applicants.
Additionally, the demand for healthcare workers is not keeping up with the supply. The AAMC predicts that by 2033 the United States could see a shortage of up to 139,000 primary and specialty care physicians. From my experience in healthcare, I’ve seen the need for hiring specialized healthcare workers long before the pandemic; operating room nurses, prenatal care, acute care, etc. Almost every specialty has a shortage creating significant gaps in patient care. Based on the specialization and required credentials, these vital roles can be open for well over the 2-month average. In some cases, they’ll be open for the better half of a year. That’s a long time to be without help on the hospital floor – or worse, that’s how long your current hospital staff has been overworked in an effort to keep up with demand.
