Recruiting and hiring top medical technologists may be the single biggest issue facing laboratories today. And it’s a problem that gets worse every month. Not only must your lab compete with other labs for scarce talent, but in these tough economic times, you may also lack the funds needed to support your ongoing advertising and recruiting efforts.
But now there’s help for your lab. ORDER THE DARK REPORT’s live audio conference CD recording, “Staff Your Lab with Top Performers: How to Recruit and Retain the Best Med Techs,” and you’ll get key strategies and tried-and-true recruiting methods for hiring and retaining productive, high-quality med techs—and how to make them the happiest and most productive members of your lab team.
Get the most current data available on trends in med-tech recruitment. Find out what works and what doesn’t when advertising your openings. Learn how to reach the most talented med techs with just the right message about your lab’s working environment. And, most important, get the latest information on med-tech compensation and how savvy labs are using recruiting incentives to attract the best candidates.
Our speakers—two experts on recruiting and retaining medical technologists—will provide practical information that you can put to work in your lab right away. First, Peggy McKee, Owner and Senior Recruiter for PHC Consulting, explains the most current thinking on supply and demand and compensation trends on both a national and regional level. Plus, she’ll offer up-to-the-minute insights on what other labs are doing to achieve and maintain a fully staffed laboratory. Then Leo Serrano, Director of Laboratory Services for Avera McKennan, gives you tips on some of the most effective strategies for recruiting talented med techs.
But you won’t just learn techniques for interviewing and hiring med-tech candidates. You’ll also find out what to do after you hire them. Because retaining and motivating your new hires is just as essential to your lab’s success as hiring them in the first place.
Find out why so many labs turn over their most productive employees—and why only the so-so med techs hang around. Listen as Serrano shares his secrets for motivating—and keeping—your lab’s best med techs, and how to use their leadership to advance the productivity, spirit, and attitude of the other members of your team.
And finally, with the economic pressures facing most labs today, getting the funds to advertise and recruit top-quality med techs isn’t always easy. So you won’t want to miss Serrano’s tips on how to approach your administration to get the money you need. These are savvy ideas gained from his years of experience that will help you meet the challenges of hiring and retaining good med techs as long-term, loyal contributors to your laboratory.
What gives this event added value is that the audio conference format allows you to assemble key team leaders in your lab to participate in the call. Together, you and your team from one location will learn from our accomplished experts. There’s even the opportunity to ask your own questions and explore the best methods to attract, hire, and motivate top-performing medical technologists. All this for one low flat fee of only $245 per Live Audio CD Recording. So don’t wait!
