What recruiters need to know today
As you already know, healthcare professionals have a difficult job because of how much medicine & methods to care there are and how complex human bodies are. It takes years of training to be qualified as a doctor or nurse or any other similar profession, but even then it takes constant study throughout one’s career.
Not only is it an important job and requires much training to do well, but doctors are similar to soldiers in some ways: they have a high risk of death or serious injury as part of their daily lives.
Beyond talents & skills, remember this:
The strength of healthcare workers requires them to be selfless in their service to others. They cannot avoid feeling compassion for those whom they serve. However, healthcare workers must also be aware of their own limits to serve and maintain a balanced lifestyle. Oftentimes, they only treat others but rarely receive treatment themselves.
The most important thing for healthcare workers is to maintain a sense of purpose and belonging. Otherwise, they will tend to become unhappy and distracted from their duties.
Therefore, the first thing you need to do is give a sense of purpose and belonging. If they feel like their work has meaning, your workers are more likely to stay. The second thing you need to do is prevent them from getting bored.
You need to find ways to engage them in their work so they see the value of what they do.
Lastly, if possible, you should provide a sense of community and belonging. Healthcare workers need to have time to socialize within a peer group while on the job.
