The GI healthcare landscape continues to experience post-pandemic staffing challenges with hiring and retaining staff. The same is true in most other parts of healthcare. The second most common reason people are leaving health care is because of how their job and employer are impacting their health and well-being. ASGE will address these concerns through an in-depth workshop to provide you with best practices from healthcare experts and leaders in the field. The half-day workshop will focus on:

• Meaningful data that will impact the way you think about recruiting and retaining staff
• Going beyond individual well-being and creating a well-being culture in your workplace
• The complexities of achieving work-life balance in the GI practice space that impact retention

After the workshop, hear from GI practice leaders across different practice settings on navigating staffing, recruitment and retention.

We are all in this together.

This recorded content is from a course that took place on November 4, 2023.

• Draw on market data to better understand the needs of the workforce that impact recruitment and retention.

1. Close other applications and browser tabs. This decreases the load on memory so your computer or other device can focus on streaming.
2. Use a 5 GHz frequency if your router supports it. The common 2.4 GHz frequency is used by household appliances, so is more crowded. Avoiding it is like getting into the carpool lane on a freeway: smoother sailing.
3. Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible but GI LEAP is built with Wi-Fi in mind. 
4. Monitor your internet connection. If your ISP has promised you 5MBps and you are getting only 1MBps, it's time for a phone call to your internet provider to sort that out.
