Retention is more important than ever
It can cost 2.7 times a physician’s annual salary to find a replacement when he or she leaves, so you can’t afford not to have an effective physician retention program. As the market evolves, retaining physicians has become more complicated than simply offering more money. Cultural fit and other non-monetary factors also play a role. Developing a strong retention plan will enable your organization maintain a cohesive culture and avoid the high costs of recruiting.
During this 60-minute audioconference, you’ll discover retention strategies that you can implement immediately without breaking the bank. Learn why many physicians leave practices and how you can keep them happy.
