Stop Chasing Staff: Fix the Healthcare Management Crisis
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Is healthcare really facing an employee crisis? Angie Graham says no. It’s a management crisis hiding behind “staffing shortages.” People still want to work. They just want to feel valued, informed, and supported.
In this episode, Angie speaks to emerging leaders about modern staffing. She shares a simple, underused strategy: stay connected to your summer students so they return during holiday breaks, when your full-time team needs time off most.
She also challenges leaders to communicate flexibility before people quit. Many employees leave because they don’t know their options, like taking a leave and still keeping their job.
The big takeaway: overtime isn’t the enemy. Burnout is. Build a deeper staffing bench with students, casual workers, seasonal help, and retirees looking for part-time hours. Then create a workplace people actually want to return to.
If you manage people well, you don’t chase talent. Talent comes back.
