Let’s face it: Physicians looking for a new position can easily find a ton of options. They make a couple of calls, check a couple of websites, and bam — a shiny new career opportunity. The challenge is, how do you get them to select your shiny new career opportunity?

Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to the benefits of a strong employment brand:

An organization’s quality depends on its employees — empty buildings can’t provide quality care.

More candidates who match your organizational culture.

Isn’t it great when everyone is pushing towards the same goal? Getting candidates who understand your goals and are willing to be part of them — priceless!

Increased attraction and closing of passive candidates.

Lower rate of offer rejection.

Nobody likes to feel rejected. Oh, and filling positions faster will save your organization a significant amount of money.

Lower turnover of “frequently exceeds” physicians.

You know the ones: the docs whom everyone likes and who make you feel horrible when they walk out the door. What a morale killer!

Larger number of employee referrals.

Greater likelihood of employee ambassadorship.

Higher levels of employee engagement.
