Podcast: Designing a Sustainable Workforce with Crouse Health CEO

As the healthcare workforce population changes over time, organizations must adjust their recruitment and retention strategies.

If you’re a leader in healthcare, chances are high that you’re constantly thinking about ways to improve your workforce.

The pandemic may be in the rearview mirror, but its impact on workforce challenges continues to be felt.

“We’re in the greatest healthcare workforce shortage in the history of the world,” Crouse Health CEO Seth Kronenberg said on the HealthLeaders Podcast.

Kronenberg, who is a HealthLeaders Exchange member, will be joined by other senior-level leaders from hospitals, health systems, and medical groups at the Workforce Decision Makers Exchange in Washington D.C., from November 7-8.

Attendees will discuss solutions to the biggest questions surrounding the workforce, including how to develop a sustainable workforce for the future that can meet the demands of younger generations of workers.

For Kronenberg, that involves keeping opportunities in-house so workers don’t feel like they have to go elsewhere to transfer into different disciplines or change their workplace lifestyle.

“Healthcare in general, we all were caught a little flat-footed with, certainly with COVID, all of the opportunities people had to work remote,” he said. “There were many more opportunities in other industries, other than the hospital environment. So now we want to make sure we can meet the demands of the workforce as we go forward.”

Check out this week’s episode to hear more from Kronenberg, who touches on many of the topics that will be discussed at the upcoming Exchange.
