Leadership Development
Nurse leaders are retiring in record rates and currently 1 in 2 healthcare job openings remain unfilled. The need for leadership is critical now more than ever before. The best future leaders will come from the high-potential employees who are already a part of the organization and know the culture. Developing those employees now is imperative to business & clinical success. TalentTracks supports the need for organizations to develop broad leadership skills at all levels.

A recent Bersin study reveals that healthcare employees have just 1% of workweek available for learning. This is a tiny window of time for development of professionals and leaders; that time has to be put to optimal use. New Skillsoft courseware features 200+ courses, with over 1800 microvideos, meant to keep up with the average employees attention span. Develop Your Leaders with mission critical business skills.

Others are in how healthcare training is delivered, whether through a transition to low-dose, high frequency learning that improves knowledge retention or with gaming and micro-simulation that has been found to enhance competency.
