With personnel constituting by far the largest percentage of laboratory costs, industry surveys consistently show that staffing shortfalls remain one of the greatest challenges for lab management. A combination of factors including new technology, an aging population requiring more care, and a landslide of baby boomers retiring and leaving the field has created a growing demand for trained lab professionals that is predicted to become even more severe over the next decade.
With demand far outpacing supply, clinical laboratories in hospitals, independent labs and pathology groups must work to attract and retain top executive talent by implementing innovative yet practical recruitment and retention strategies & programs.
