Recruiting and Retaining Older Healthcare Workers

The Pennsylvania Department of Aging and the South Central WIB have released a report on Recruiting and Retaining Older Healthcare Workers.

As the baby boom generation ages, Pennsylvania healthcare employers are facing a shrinking labor force and an increasing demand for healthcare services. In order to address the critical shortage of healthcare workers and the associated costs of recruiting and training new workers, this toolkit was created (with advice from the South Central WIB Healthcare Industry Subcommittee) to provide employers with innovative ideas and suggestions for attracting and retaining experienced and older workers.
