Top talent wants to work for top organizations. An experienced behavioral health partner brings operational and clinical excellence that can help the program be known throughout the region by both patients and healthcare professionals. The additional
resources and best practices also allow for greater efficiency, leading to less burnout and more flexibility – key drivers of employee satisfaction.

Reducing burnout among employees is especially critical. The average bedside Registered Nurse (RN) turnover in 2020 rose to an all-time high of 18.6 percent. This jump, up nearly two percent from 2019, also represented the largest annual increase
in seven years, according to the Advisory Board.4 These statistics don’t just pertain to RNs.
Health systems across the nation are seeing shortages due to burnout in a multitude of positions including psychiatrists. It is noted that within local communities, as many as 65 percent of the population do not have access to this kind of specialist
and more than 60 percent do not have access to any form of behavioral healthcare due to a provider shortage.5 These shortages create an obstacle when it comes to attracting behavioral health providers, and when combined with a lack
of financial incentives, burnout is expected among all hospital staff within the local community.
Similar to the exceptional behavioral healthcare required to aid in successful patient outcomes, potential staff members are now looking for an employer who provides the mental and emotional support needed to help them meet current and future demands
of their roles. A partner with access to resources to aid in an employee’s professional growth can help a health system be viewed as an employer of choice within their community.
