Competing for Executive Talent Requires More Than Competitive Pay
Health care organizations are competing for executive talent in an environment defined by complexity, heightened scrutiny, and constant change. As expectations on senior leaders continue to rise, there is an imperative to not only provide competitive pay, but also ensure that talent strategies, leadership development, performance objectives, and operating models are aligned with the organization’s goals and mission.
Misalignment can undercut leadership’s effectiveness, compromise performance, create recruitment and retention challenges, and impair the organization’s ability to deliver high-quality, cost-effective care. Organizations must offer a leadership framework that aligns pay, performance, and talent strategies with strategic goals.
