The complexity of the evolving healthcare landscape continues to bring a myriad of challenges to the healthcare industry, with increasing demand for a highly skilled, professional and well-practised workforce of healthcare professionals.
As a Healthcare Recruiter serving multiple regions, both locally and internationally including Ireland, Northern Ireland and the UK, we see first-hand the difficulties healthcare organisations are facing on a daily basis, requiring proactive solutions and strategies to solving staffing issues and crises.
Here to support you, as a dedicated recruitment partner, discover our bespoke and tailored solutions to guide you towards building your perfect healthcare team.
1. Continual Professional Development
Continual Professional Development or CPD is becoming a staple strategy to implement in your organisation, by way of:
- Supporting you in retaining current healthcare professionals by providing the opportunity to evolve in their healthcare careers
- Building a team of knowledgeable professionals, well-versed in the latest industry standards and best practices.
With the rapid development of new technology, changing patient demographics, and emerging medical needs, a team that is well-equipped and ready for the challenge is the solution to deliver exceptional quality care in a dynamic environment.
Our suite of comprehensive CPD-certified training courses is designed to empower healthcare professionals with the latest knowledge and practical skills to deliver exceptional patient care.
2. Expand Recruitment Channels
Recruitment has become a much more complex process and to maximise efficiency and reach your end goal, a comprehensive strategy is more necessary than ever before.
Joanne Moody, Operations Director Healthcare Division at AA Euro Healthcare notes:
Recruiting and retaining social care professionals in Ireland requires a structured, proactive approach due to workforce shortages and increasing demand
By defining your hiring needs, and expanding your recruitment channels whilst also managing retention and workplace culture, you can reach new highs in your recruitment of healthcare professionals.
3. Prioritising Wellbeing
Burnout is a common cause for healthcare organisations to experience rapidly rising levels of turnover.
Healthcare workers are the backbone of society, showing admirable dedication and resilience in providing critical care and life-saving support.
But, their exposure to incredibly challenging and stressful environments, can have a significant impact on their mental well-being, particularly without the right support in place.
If you don’t have an effective, compassionate system in place – start putting one together.
Some of the best ways to start include:
- Promoting Open Communication & Awareness
- Arranging Flexible Work Arrangements
- Fostering Peer Support Networks
- Implementing Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs)
4. Flexible Working Arrangements
While it can be a bit more difficult to arrange for hands-on, practical healthcare roles, where possible, offering flexible working solutions to your current staff and prospective newcomers will help you to recruit and retain.
The importance of hybrid and flexible working arrangements shows no signs of slowing down, with 60% of job seekers admitting they would turn down a job opportunity if it didn’t meet their flexible working requirements.
