Why they come, why they stay and why they leave: a survey to understand| Abby Foster

Allied health is a lynchpin of the healthcare system, supporting the health and wellbeing of our community. Workforce planning is essential to ensuring the continuity of the essential services that we provide. In order to tailor our workforce planning to the needs of our team, we set out to understand why they come, why they stay, and why the leave.
Ensuring a robust and happy allied health workforce allows us to continue delivering essential diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitative services that support patient recovery, well-being, and system-wide efficiency. And that’s worth working for https://lnkd.in/gAEnBzdu Simone Munro Janet Golder Debra Mitchell #AlliedHealth #WorkforceRetention #HealthcareInsights #Burnout #HealthcareLeadership
