Children's Hospitals Today - Fall 2024 - 19

WORKFORCE / FEATURE
T
he evidence couldn't be any clearer. Young Millennials
and Gen Zers love children's hospitals. But would they
be willing to work for one?
To discover how to entice members of these crucial demographic
groups to seek jobs at children's hospitals, CHA
commissioned the Center for Generational Kinetics (CGK)
to ask them directly. CGK surveyed 1,650 people between
the ages of 18-35, some who currently work in health care
and some who don't.
Of those surveyed, 90% of health care workers said they
were confident they could build a successful career at a children's
hospital. Ninety-five percent have an overall positive
perception of children's hospitals, and nearly everyone surveyed
was open to working at a children's hospital.
Jason Dorsey, co-founder of CGK, was " shocked " by
these findings since his company almost never encounters
ratings this high in other industries. " There's a massively
positive perception of childrenʼs hospitals, " he said. " We've
asked if people like chocolate and we don't get 90% positive
responses. There is such a strong feeling towards childrenʼs
hospitals. It's incredible. And itʼs just very consistent. "
This begs the question: If everyone would love to work at
a children's hospital, what's keeping them from doing so? " If
we're not getting the right people, there's clearly something
else at work that we need to dig into, " Dorsey said.
Millennials and members of Generation Z will make up
the majority of the workforce by 2030, so attracting and
retaining them is key to children's hospitals' workforce sustainability
efforts.
While the vast survey data reveals numerous paths to
success, Dorsey said the key is mastering a few areas first.
" Other things become a distraction, and they also consume
resources. If you focus on a handful of things rather than
trying to do everything, you're going to have a lot more success,
less stress, and better results. "
Among the survey findings, four key areas stood out as
essential to younger workers, no matter their current industry,
age, or gender identity.
