Diving insight:

The Harris survey, which questioned 1,504 employees with Frontline Healthcare and 304 employers between June 26 and July 21, intervenes because the professional exhaustion of the industry. The demand for health workers exceeds supply in most areas, in particular rural regions, making attrition an urgent problem for employers.

The shortage of labor could also worsen in the years to come as the Americans age and require more care, said experts from the Harris survey. The Health Resource and Services Administration, for example, predicts that there will be a shortage of nearly 700,000 doctors, authorized nurses and approved practical nurses by 2037.

The employees interviewed say that they feel largely underestimated, which leads to part of the attrition.

Only 1 in 5 in 5 health workers thought that their employer was invested in their long -term career growth, for example. And less than a third of respondents said they felt “very faithful” to their current employer.

However, Jennifer Musil, world president of research by Harris election, said in a statement that the results of the survey offer responses to employers hoping to keep talent.

The educational advantages seem to be an attractive advantage for some, according to the survey. The majority of workers believe that employers should invest more in their education, workers of the Z generation and the millennium are most likely to say that educational benefits would be a reason to stay in their work.

The offer of AI training would be a particularly popular offer, according to the survey, because employers and employees say that the literacy of AI is an increasingly precious competence to have.

“Investment in employees’ progress is at the heart of the guarantee that health care labor feels appreciated and appreciated, while being prepared to take up new challenges, including AI,” said Adele Webb, executive dean of health care initiatives in strategic education.
