Dear HR Director, Meet Your New Employees: Physicians. Good Luck!
Originally presented in February 2012
Both physicians and hospitals are turning to physician employment models for a number of reasons. This is a newer development but, the approach to physician employment has not kept up. Success will require a re-thinking of the physician workforce; how we attract, recruit, select, engage and develop these highly paid, very valuable, employees.
This trend also raises questions about the role of human resources, and the practical and legal issues that come with these new employees. This session examines:
- Reasons behind the physician employment trend
- Selection - Ensuring the Right "Fit"
- The cost and cause of turnover
- Physician "Employment" does not ensure physician "engagement"
- Performance-based compensation models
- Selecting and developing physician leaders
- Recruitment strategies
- HR and legal issues unique to physicians (Employment contracts, ADA, ADEA, Benefit Plans, employment discrimination, and the hiring process)
