More powerful than compensation: What clinicians are really seeking in a competitive talent market

More powerful than compensation: What clinicians are really seeking in a competitive talent market

While compensation remains the top priority for healthcare professionals seeking new work, data shows there is more to the story. In a recent article for Staffing Industry Analysts, Chris Franklin, president of LocumTenens.com, reveals research-driven insights based on physician and advanced practice provider feedback which demonstrates that flexibility, work-life balance and meaningful benefits are the real differentiators beyond matching market pay rates. This research, conducted in partnership with Advisory Board, shows the true value of flexibility even for permanent clinicians, and signals a major shift in workplace expectations among a shrinking talent pool.
