Investing in employees today will keep your practice healthy

More than half of healthcare workers don’t feel optimistic about the future. According to a recent Vivian Health study, 53% of healthcare workers surveyed don’t feel optimistic about the future of healthcare in the U.S. and 27% say they are unsure whether the future holds any promise for their careers. In the same survey, 43% of respondents said they are considering leaving the healthcare profession in 2021, compared to 80% who just one year before said they’d likely continue working in the healthcare field post-COVID-19. Numbers like these are popping up on surveys across the country and the world as healthcare professionals begin to leave their posts and start their careers over from scratch in different industries. What that means for healthcare employers is that finding licensed professionals to fill vacant roles is about to get even more competitive than it already was.
