DALLAS, TX, September 04, 2010
The compensation needed to recruit therapists and physician extenders in the current job market is leaving healthcare facilities with the subsequent issue of salary adjustments to retain their existing providers, according to the most recent market trends published by The Delta Companies in The Healthcare Recruiting Standard."Staff compensation levels are being adjusted because younger providers know they can demand high salaries in the current economic climate," says Scott Best, search consultant with Delta Healthcare Placement.
In addition, healthcare administrators are no longer contending with compensation benchmarks previously set on a local level.
"Healthcare facilities understand that they must look beyond regional salary surveys and offer compensation that keeps them competitive on a national level, while retaining their more tenured staff at the same time," adds Best.
