The national average retention rate among registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants was 53.3%. So how do you keep your employees from jumping ship?

Here are some solutions to improve employee retention in the healthcare field:
  1. Give them what they want - Offer a competitive compensation and benefits package that includes fair salaries, retirement plans, and health insurance.

  2. Create a positive work culture - Promote work-life balance, recognize and value diversity, and provide career development opportunities. Cortex offers a comprehensive employee solution package that facilitates recognition, reward, and feedback collection from employees throughout the organization.

  3. Communication is key - Encourage open communication and collaboration between employees and management to build trust and foster a positive work environment.

  4. Invest in their growth - Provide ongoing training and development opportunities, such as professional certifications, leadership development programs, and mentorship programs.

  5. Give them options - Flexible work arrangements, such as telecommuting, flexible schedules, and job-sharing, can improve employee retention by providing a better work-life balance.
