Flexible Workforces: Unleashing the Potential of On-Demand Nursing
Flexible Workforces: Unleashing the Potential of On-Demand Nursing
[Sponsored] Appropriate nurse staffing is essential across care settings, with unfilled shifts contributing to nurse burnout and adverse outcomes. High nurse turnover, combined with the high cost of travel nurses, is creating an unsustainable cycle: short staffing leads to even greater turnover and higher labor costs for provider organizations. In this executive dialogue, nurse leaders explore ways to optimize staffing levels and convert temporary workers into permanent staff, enhancing patient care outcomes and fostering a more resilient, agile workforce.
This executive dialogue will highlight key findings on:
- Unfilled shifts remain a significant challenge for many hospitals and health systems and negatively impact morale and organizational culture.
- Financial incentives are not sufficient to reduce turnover brought on by the stress of unfilled shifts. Nurses need to feel supported in their roles and have opportunities to work when and how they choose.
- Health care organizations must embrace the gig economy to create a flexible work environment that meets the needs of today nursing workforce.
- Adaptability is essential to overcome challenges associated with a gig workforce. Leaders must consider changes to the orientation process and embrace technology to quickly onboard shift workers.
- Leadership effectiveness is essential to building and supporting a flexible workforce. Nurse leaders must be prepared to implement new models of care and seek innovative solutions to current and future workforce challenges.
