The 2012 PwC Saratoga on Human Capital suggests that organizations will
begin to see an increase in their voluntary turnover in the next three years as
the economy recovers.

The annual Voluntary Turnover for healthcare organizations reported by CHA has
been flat around 9.0% in the last three years, compared to 16% prior to the
economic recession.
o More than ever hiring managers need to partner with their Human Resources
team to attract, onboard, engage, motivate, and develop their talent to ensure
long-term success.
o The onboarding process needs to be personal, valuable and insightful in order
to ease new employee socialization into the organization and create the desired
"first impression".
