How the Coronavirus Will Impact Your AS WE RETURN to work, we will see a dramatic impact in openings and hiring to fill those jobs. In "How the Coronavirus Is Changing Hiring and Recruiting Going Forward," R o b i n R y a n a t F o r b e s s t a t e s , " The fa l lout w i l l f u n d a m e n t a l l y change recruiting and hiring practices long after the pandemic has passed." Locally we have seen the emergence of more remote work as teams are finding unique ways to use technolog y in healthcare delivery — from telemedicine to scheduling remotely, transportation, utilization of accessing records and messages through portals. Susan Crossett, CEO at CPS Recruitment, notes many practices and healthcare organizations have reached out to utilize CPS's remote expertise in leveraging technology to source quality candi- dates. The challenges she has observed in this environment include: + Long-term care facilities facing recruitment challenges as employees become increasingly concerned about safety and exposure to the coronavirus. + Hospital challenges with personal protective equipment are impacting their ability to recruit. + Nurses and clinicians are asking to see safety protocols in health environments before they will consider interviewing for a position. The advantages Crossett sees developing are clear increases in productivity from remote work as employees see less challenges with transportation and child care. She also says employers will need to consider how to keep the team connected and support each other while working remotely from social opportunities to communications.
