Kansas City, Kan. – With pay increase budgets stagnant at 2.6 percent in 2017, healthcare employers must rethink their strategies in recruiting and retaining an engaged workforce. As a result, 56.8 percent of employers are now offering a sign-on bonus, 20.1 percent are increasing start rates, and 43.2 percent are engaging in new or increased school recruitment.
This data comes from the recently published Compdata Surveys & Consulting 2017 Compensation Data Healthcare pay and benefits survey results. This year’s results feature data collected from more than 11,000 healthcare employers with more than 11 million incumbents across the country. Nearly 30,000 organizations across all industries provided data on general staff positions.
Compdata Vice President Amy Kaminski explains how the healthcare data report can be a major asset to the compensation planning process, “Workforce issues continue to challenge healthcare organizations when hiring skilled labor, addressing turnover and offering competitive pay. It is imperative that HR professionals in healthcare have access to reliable data to mitigate these issues. Containing a vast amount of information, this report will be the go-to resource when creating strategic solutions for future success.”
