A three-facility hospital system was experiencing too much employee turnover and associated added costs of doing business. To improve its hiring efficacy, the hospital engaged in a structured problem-solving activity that uncovered flaws in the hiring and onboarding processes. These flaws pointed to a set of solutions the hospital implemented around applicant screening and recruiter performance—leading to better retention and an annual cost savings of $300,000.
