title: A comprehensive career ladder for the clinical laboratory.
abstract: Retention and promotion of current staff are highly desirable goals for today's clinical laboratory because recruitment and replacement are costly. In the face of balancing these costs with competition for technologists and limited upward mobility within the laboratory, a comprehensive career ladder that expands employee job horizons and gives depth to their jobs is a powerful tool for staff retention and, at the same time, increases the organization's productivity and recruitment potential.
