BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - November 12, 2009) - "
Talent Management in Healthcare," a recent
study by
Aberdeen Group, a
Harte-Hanks Company (
NYSE:
HHS), reveals that although healthcare
organizations are still struggling with the lack of qualified candidates in
the talent market, the primary focus has been on developing and retaining
talent. Performance management, engagement, and succession planning are
the top strategic emphases for these organizations. Analysis showed that
automation of talent management elements, specifically recruitment and
learning management, leads the list of enablers that differentiate top
performers from the rest of the sample. Utilizing assessments and defining
competency profiles are earning organizations substantial gains in employee
performance, retention and customer / patient satisfaction.
Aberdeen's report provides more detail about how top performing
organizations carry out their talent management strategies in a way that
produces operational results and increases employee engagement throughout
the organization.
"Healthcare organizations must focus on developing and retaining their
existing workforce while building frameworks for recruitment in growth
periods," said Jayson Saba, Senior Research Associate with Aberdeen's Human
Capital Management practice. "Aligning individual performance with company
goals and increasing engagement will be critical to succeed in an industry
that is faced with talent shortages and increasing demand."
By identifying the proven steps adopted by top organizations,
"
Talent Management in Healthcare" provides a guide for hospitals and
medical suppliers seeking to improve recruitment, employee performance,
succession planning, and engagement strategies.
