21. Tips for Employers…
Are Your Employees
Job Hunting?
Sixty-five percent of nurse case
managers and non-bedside
nurses planning to look for a
new job this year can be a very
scary number for employers to
hear. Employers should keep in
mind the reasons that nurse case
managers and non-bedside
nurses are looking for new
opportunities. While employers
may have limited control over
salary, there are other benefits
that may help retain this
specialized nursing talent.
More Autonomy
Thirty-eight percent of nurses would leave
their current job for more autonomy and
less micromanagement. If employers
identify opportunities that allow non-
bedside nurses the ability to have more
control in managing their work, it may
increase employee satisfaction and keep
nursing talent from seeking employment
elsewhere.
Succession Planning
Some employees may simply feel that they
are not challenged enough, or their skills are
being underutilized. Succession planning may
help top talent understand their opportunities
for advancement within the organization.
Flexible Hours
Offering a more accommodating schedule and other
attractive benefits such as flexible hours, more vacation,
or telecommuting options may help employers to retain
nurses that are looking for a better work / life balance.
Continuing Education
Forty-nine percent of nursing
professionals want to further their
education. Offering to reimburse for
continuing education expenses may
help to retain top talent.
