Webinar – Engaging and Retaining Employees in a Competitive Environment

Date: April 19, 2023

Time: 2:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Central Time

Speaker: Shannon Studden, Independent Leadership Consultant

Rural hospitals and clinics across the country are facing significant challenges when it comes to recruiting and retaining qualified employees. Staff turnover leads to work disruptions, workload imbalances, and increased uncertainty for the staff and patients left behind, not to mention the significant time and expense needed to recruit and train those hired in their place.

The Staff Sustainability Cycle is a process for improving the retention of high-performing staff – and as a result, strengthening continuity of health care services and employee well-being. The cycle takes a holistic approach by sharing best practices in recruitment, onboarding, learning & development, engagement & retention, and succession planning.

In this webinar you’ll learn about the elements in the Staff Sustainability Cycle and take a deep dive into some of the key practices that foster employee engagement and retention. We’ll share tools that you can use to strengthen your practices in these areas – thereby ensuring continuity of the critical services your health care organization provides to support the health of your community.

Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:

• Build familiarity with the elements of the staff sustainability cycle and the role that each plays in fostering engagement, retention, and continuity of services
• Adopt best practices at each stage of the cycle
• Use tools to support staff sustainability best practices

This event meets the requirement for one ACHE qualified education credit.
