KEEPING YOUR ORGANIZATION HEALTHY Talent Acquisition, Retention and Succession Planning Stress, Stress Reduction and Retention Organizational Ethics When it comes to running a healthy organization, there are many different pieces to consider to ensure overall successful function. Staffing is one of these components. We all know that health care is already suffering from a limited workforce and that staff turnover costs a lot of money. In 2013, it was estimated that nurse turnover costs between $42,000 and $64,000 per departure. This cost goes up when you consider how many staff you employ and your rate of turnover. These are significant costs, suggesting considerable effort should be made to address turnover and retention issues.1 In this 5-hour conference, speakers will focus on talent acquisition, retention and succession planning. Attendees will look at stress and how reducing stress for staff can help employee retention and overall satisfaction for staff and those they care for. This session will also help attendees consider the role organizational ethics plays in creating an organizational culture where core values and principals and ethical analysis form the bedrock for decision-making from bedside to board room. The result is a collaborative atmosphere that where staff feel valued and remain enthusiastically engaged in their work and in carrying out the mission of the organization. 1 Frederick Morgeson, Ph.D., Recruiting to reduce turnover in LTC, McKnight s, November 6, 2016, www.mcknights.com/guest-columns/recruiting-to-reduce-turnover-in-ltc/article/319739 For more information about this conference, registration and continuing education, visit our website www.avilainstitute.org or call us at (518) 537-5000.
