HR leaders in healthcare are forced to split their focus between filling open positions and creating an environment that retains top talent. In this webinar, we’ll explore practical employee engagement strategies drawn from Sherian’s real-world healthcare experience, including milestone and retirement recognition, connecting leaders to frontline staff and sustaining engagement throughout the year. We’ll also discuss effective ways to share survey feedback with leaders and employees to foster continuous culture improvement.

This session offers actionable ideas HR leaders can tailor to their organizations and teams.
