Hiring and Retention in 2023 and Beyond

by Ophthalmology Business Academy | January 4, 2023

Everyone plays a unique role within an organization and must be taken care of equally. People spend half their lives working, and if they feel they need to be more appreciated appropriately or their work doesn’t bring any meaning, they won’t have a problem walking out the front door. The Great Resignation is evidence of that. Implementing a powerful retention strategy is important for your practice’s success.

In this episode, Megan Odell, Associate Director of ASCRS Foundation, discusses the hiring and retention strategies for 2023 and beyond.
