Overworking Our Healthcare Providers MUST Change & Locum Tenens Will Force Transformation
from The Locum Tenens Strategist | Create A Career And Lifestyle On Your Terms · host Simon Parsons | Locum Tenens Senior Advisor
Big Corporations that are forcing our healthcare workers (the heroes that are saving lives) to work unsustainable workloads is not a long term, ethical or sustainable solution to creating more corporate profits, its actually doing the opposite. We all know that stress, burnout and even suicide rates are at all time high when it comes to our healthcare providers. Big hospital groups in their search for more and more quarterly profits try to save money by forcing people to work more and more. But what it really does is push more healthcare workers to either leave medicine or adopt locum tenens work to create a better work & life balance, which also costs hospitals more. In this episode I'll be talking about the 2 biggest reasons why locum tenens has grown at a 27% growth rate over the last several years. There has been a huge generational shift on what is important to us when it comes to having success in our careers and lives. Generation Z and Millennials are craving more flexibility and freedom at the same time where Boomers are ready to exit the practices that they've held for 20, 30 and 40 years to have more freedom. I believe locum tenens work will force change in the healthcare system one way or another; but either way, you have the option to live your life on your terms. In this episode I mentioned this article which I believe needs to be shared: https://nurse.org/articles/nurse-died-by-suicide-letter-to-abuser/ If you are a general, trauma or vascular surgeon and you'd like to set up a 30 minute no pressure strategy session where we can talk about locum tenens as a pathway to better flexibility, freedom and income, you can book a call here: https://calendly.com/simon-parsons/physician-strategy-call
