Workforce Compensation and Performance Improvement Resources

Learn about emerging trends in employee compensation - including base hourly pay increases, internal minimums, premium pay and more - from SullivanCotter's 2023 Health Care Staff Compensation Survey Report.

SullivanCotter’s 2023 Health Care Staff Compensation Survey features data from nearly 1,630 participating organizations on more than 600 jobs and approximately 1.4 million individual employees.

In an article published by the American Association of Provider Compensation Professionals, SullivanCotter outlines how health care organizations can effectively monitor, measure and achieve pay equity.

Despite continued labor shortages in vital patient-facing roles and the post-COVID “great resignation,” many health care organizations have had to consider layoffs in the past year. Human resources professionals are experiencing numerous operational pressures, often including an increased push to reduce labor costs. As these teams grapple with balancing increased burnout, turnover, and staffing shortages with a need to cut costs, they seek alternative strategies to address these challenges.

2023 survey results show larger increases for primary care, medical and surgical specialties (each at 5%) and modest growth for hospital-based specialties (2.5%) for both base and total cash compensation (TCC).

Advanced Practice Providers (APPs) continue to play a critical role in enhancing patient access, lowering the cost of care, and addressing the growing physician shortage.

Many states have enacted pay transparency laws that are intended to enhance the visibility of compensation practices to job candidates and current employees.
