Do You Need to Request Additional Staffing?
Overworked healthcare teams aren’t good for anyone, including the patients they serve. There are a few tell-tale signs that your team is struggling to maintain a good work-life balance:
- Your employees feel obligated to miss significant personal events to complete work tasks and keep things rolling.
- Staff cuts corners or leaves tasks unfinished, until ultimately, all work quality plummets.
- Your employees are emotional and agitated at work.
- You are experiencing a high turnover due to burnout.
One or more of these signs could indicate that it's time to find staff to support your team.
How to Request Staffing
Finding the right support staff for your team might seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be. You only have to complete a few simple steps, then Options Staffing 360 handles the rest.
Assess Your Needs
Speak with employees, audit their workloads, and ensure that time at work is being well spent. Consider the type of position you need to fill. Typically, people choose contract, contingent, part-time, or full-time positions. However, you might consider temp-to-perm or direct buyout options.
Determine what skills are necessary, especially if you need a technician or specific credentials. It helps to consider what equipment your team uses and include that information in building your profile.
Don’t forget to consider the shifts times and days. If you need weekend help or overnight support, those are important things to note.
Consider the Budget
How much can you comfortably afford to spend on new team members? While we can help provide quality solutions to fit any budget, make sure you are not requesting additional staff when things are too tight.
