About the Session
Strategic Talent Acquisition and Retention at Connecticut Children’s is a CEO-sponsored initiative. Its goal is to create the most positive team member life cycle experience possible, from first touch with a candidate through acquisition, on-boarding, and retention.
Healthcare organizations suffer from some of the highest turnover rates in all US industries. Nurses, in particular, are in high demand with a shortage of ready talent and high demand and mobility among those with the right experience. Hear from three nursing executives from Connecticut Children’s how the STAR initiative is tackling these issues, not only for nurses but for seven key clinical roles.
Regardless of your industry, you will leave this interactive session with strategies to gain senior leadership buy-in and reboot your entire employee life-cycle!
