3 Best Medical Staffing Solutions To Know in 2024

Utilizing the Train-and-Hire Model

The train-and-hire model is a transformative approach that is redefining traditional employee development strategies. Conventionally, organizations recruit candidates from job search sites or other organizations. Despite being effective, the process comes with inherent risks, like a shared pool of candidates with all other hiring organizations. The train-and-hire model allows you to build your own talent pool and equip candidates with job-specific skills before employing them formally.

This innovative method addresses the common challenge of hiring individuals who appear ideal on paper but may lack essential education or skills. By identifying candidates with the right background and potential, the train-and-hire model allows you to control the training process and mold your future employees.

A significant advantage of the train-then-hire model lies in its flexibility and customization. You can define prerequisites and tailor training programs to meet specific job requirements. For instance, if you’re seeking a medical lab assistant, consider partnering with a reputable program like MedCerts.

Upskilling and Reskilling

The medical staffing strategies of upskilling and reskilling are potent tools for fostering growth and adaptability among healthcare workers. Upskilling involves refining existing employees' abilities and propelling their current roles and careers in your organization. Meanwhile, reskilling focuses on training healthcare staff for diverse roles, catering to the advancing needs of the industry.

As a healthcare leader, prioritizing certifications and training initiatives often becomes vital when building and sustaining a top-tier workforce. The staffing approach can:

Boost Employee Retention and Satisfaction

Prioritizing upskilling and reskilling fosters employee loyalty. Despite tempting offers, 55% of healthcare workers are inclined to stay if offered training, underlining the pivotal role of development programs in employee retention. Upskilling isn't just professional growth – it significantly improves overall quality of life (69%), job satisfaction (71%) and standard of living (65%).

Cut Costs

Retaining existing talent proves cost-effective. The 2023 NSI report reveals a 25.9% hospital turnover rate, with an average cost of $46,100 per staff turnover. Upskilling and reskilling emerge as efficient alternatives, offering financial savings and streamlining the recruitment process.
