Enhancing Our Workforce: Recruitment and Retention in Anesthesiology
Original source published:
The bottom line
Job satisfaction tracked directly with anesthesiologists' intention to leave, and over a third of respondents were already working through staffing shortages — a combination that can compound into a retention spiral. Leaders should treat satisfaction monitoring as an early-warning system for attrition. Uncertain publication details mean this source is best corroborated by the larger workforce studies it accompanies here.
