phlebotomy

Timestamps

0:00 Intro

00:45 Why is workforce stability such an important topic for health care right now?

04:25 What are a couple of the current challenges? Maybe a few with hiring, and then a few with retaining some of these quality employees.

07:17 What are your thoughts about how do you keep your fingers on the pulse of the current needs and interest of the workforce? What’s the way to be a constantly evolving organization?

09:04 Is this something that is a regular topic of discussion with management meeting about what we are hearing from our employees, or is this something that is more informal that you’re meeting with leadership for your group, reflecting on what you’re hearing from your employees and meetings? What does that look like?

09:23 How does the laboratory and histocompatibility support organ transplantation? What kind of work happens behind the scene that enables this transplant to be as successful as possible?

11:32 How do you handle and manage that in a positive way, when employees are making these great suggestions, but like you said you just can’t just on a dime change the work hours in many cases?

14:27 What are some of your top recruitment strategies?

16:40 How do you assess which strategies are more effective?

18:38 Can you speak to some potential educational opportunities where listeners can learn more about this?
