Employee engagement and staff retention have never been more critical for healthcare organizations facing high turnover, stagnant reimbursements, and rising operational costs. In this interactive session, attendees will learn what employees need to thrive at work and the five areas in which employee engagement can be enhanced. These principles will result in increased employee retention, increased patient satisfaction, improved quality of care, and decreased labor costs. Attendees will participate in group discussions at small tables and in the larger group to discover ways to implement strategies within each of those areas.
