title: Four strategies for recruitment and retention.
abstract: The combined pressures of a shrinking work force, an aging population, changing social attitudes toward work, financial constraints, and public perception of healthcare have contributed to a growing personnel problem for healthcare organizations across the country. In fact, decreasing job satisfaction among healthcare employees has them headed for the doors in search of nonhospital jobs that can offer flexible hours, more opportunities, equal or better pay, and less stress. Without sufficient numbers of personnel, healthcare organizations will not be able to meet the needs of their communities. And the need for healthcare services will continue to grow as the Baby Boomers age.
