Hodes Webinar Explores Improving Retention Practices for Healthcare

Christen Uber June 9, 2008

Bernard Hodes Group, a leading provider of integrated talent solutions, today announced that it will be conducting a webinar to showcase the effects employee satisfaction and engagement has on retention, and how the Hodes QTrac for Health Care solution is used to measure the success of hospital and health care systems’ processes, retention and recruitment efforts. The webinar will take place on Wednesday, June 18, from 2 pm to 3 pm EST. Registration for the event can be completed at: www.hodes.com/industries/healthcare/solutions/qtrachc_webinar.asp

The webinar will feature Hodes Qtrac and health care experts, as well as Mark Rowe, director of workforce development for WellStar Health System, a not-for-profit health care system based in Atlanta, GA. WellStar recently utilized QTrac to chart out a plan towards a stronger employer brand. Through their survey and metrics process, WellStar discovered that their workplace culture and environment needed to more closely reflect their employer brand promise.

“We gained a thorough understanding of how our employees’ perceptions were affecting our ability to retain workers and hire a talented workforce,” said Rowe. ” The data is important to us because it provides an obvious road map to becoming an employer of choice for potential and current employees.”

Hodes QTrac for Health Care helps drive efficiencies by measuring all areas of the employee retention cycle: post-hire, offer reject, exiting employees, and employee engagement.

“All companies have recruitment and HR strengths and challenges. Health care, which is already struggling with hiring nurses and allied health professionals, is an industry that cannot afford to lose valuable workers,” said Bradley Savoy, vice president of Hodes QTrac. “We can help health care organizations cut their turnover costs by understanding where they are succeeding and falling short on their employer brand promise.”
