Key takeaways

Supply is shaped by demands

As care expectations increase, providers need to think about work differently in order to attract talent that can meet the demand.

One size does not fit all

Recognize that work-life balance is a concept that is here to stay; get personal and be flexible in your offerings.

 

Let the data guide you

Understand what attracts employees — and what drives them away — and use that as the foundation for your roadmap to success.
