With workforce shortages showing no signs of stopping, hospitals and health systems must attract, retain, and motivate key employees with confidence.

Turn insight into impact with the latest compensation benchmarks!

The results from our annual Health Care Staff Compensation Survey reveal that the market is moving. Median base pay for health care staff positions rose 4.3% in 2025, up from 2.7% in 2024 — a notable increase reflecting ongoing labor market pressures and the need to remain competitive in recruiting and retaining talent. Clinical Support and Technical roles are leading the way with a year-over-year increase in base hourly rates of 5.1%, while Registered Nursing is close behind at 4.9%

During this impactful session, our panelists will:

  • Discuss emerging trends in compensation for both key clinical and non-clinical staff-level roles
  • Provide insight into premium and variable pay programs
  • Address frontline staffing shortages and how organizations are tackling recruitment and retention challenges with data from our latest pulse survey
