Consequences of Delayed Hiring

Is this the right person to hire? Do I need more staff? Do I really need to hire?

For every reason to HIRE NOW, there are three more reasons you can think up to wait. But delaying a hire has serious impacts, especially in healthcare facilities.

According to research compiled by ATC Healthcare Services, “Potential for Burnout” and “Decreased Quality of Patient Care” are two of the biggest consequences delayed hiring has on healthcare facilities. While burnout is a reality in many careers, the long hours and stressful work of the healthcare profession make burnout a reality. In fact, 100,000 registered nurses are projected to leave the workforce over the next decade.

The “Decreased Quality of Patient Care” is equally disturbing. As healthcare facilities nationwide strive to improve outcomes through rising costs and increased patient expectations, delayed hiring is an added challenge that can be immediately addressed by a local, trusted staffing agency partner.

Other consequences of delayed hiring include increased workload, lower staff morale, and higher employee turnover. The effects of a hiring delay simply compound on one another.
