In health care, retention is a major and ongoing problem. In nursing, it’s especially harmful because nurses have a direct impact on patient satisfaction. The Healthcare Retention Study, conducted by Dr. Frederick Morgeson, professor at Michigan State University and scientific advisor for HealthcareSource, revealed that 28 percent of nurses leave within 18 months. This research also showed that nursing retention is driven by critical factors that you can hire for, thereby increasing the likelihood of hiring the right nurses for your organization.

In this webinar, Dr. Morgeson explains the results of this study, highlighting the reasons nurses and other hospital staff leave. He also discusses how hospitals can enhance retention through their talent management and employee development practices, including the use of behavioral assessments during the hiring process. Rebecca McNeil from HealthcareSource will share how HealthcareSource Staff Assessment works to help you better understand why studying retention matters and how you can harness the assessment to offer the right development opportunities to your nurses.

• Recognize reasons why nurses and other hospital staff leave their jobs
• Develop selection practices that can enhance retention
• Determine why benchmarking retention matters
