Understand Why Staffing Franchises Matter
It’s not enough to tout the benefits of ATC Healthcare to your healthcare associates, you also need to be willing to listen to their needs and their wants when it comes to a staffing franchise. You need to understand why in-demand nurses and healthcare associates prefer the types of flexible, temporary positions your ATC Healthcare franchise will provide.
Perhaps they enjoy having more time off in between jobs. Maybe they want to work at different locations to gain more diverse experience. Communicating with your healthcare associates is a two-way street, and the more you understand their desires for staffing placements the better you’ll be at retaining their services over the long term.
Provide the Most Desirable Positions
As important as communication is, providing the types of positions your healthcare associates are seeking is critical. In order to retain the top talent and grow your business, you’ll need to network within your territory to secure contracts with the most desirable healthcare facilities and other locations in your area.
Hospitals, nursing homes, schools, and even cruise ships are all opportunities for your healthcare franchise to place healthcare associates in sought-after, flexible positions. The more you can offer, the more excited healthcare associates will be, and the more easily your ATC Healthcare franchise will grow.
Provide Payroll Support and Benefits
Top positions aren’t the only benefits that will help you retain the best healthcare associates. When you franchise with ATC Healthcare, you’ll receive complete back-office support for things like billing, collections, and payroll. That means your healthcare associates will be paid promptly, without having to wait for the billing and collections process to be completed. That’s a welcome advantage for healthcare associates who enjoy the stability of the ATC Healthcare process.
Healthcare franchising thrives on having the finest healthcare associates to fill crucial roles in the healthcare industry and provide high-quality care to patients.
