Response within one business day.
Two labor markets in one small state.
Delaware is unusual. The north end is a corporate and financial services center where employers compete for talent against Philadelphia and the whole Northeast Corridor. The south end is agricultural and rural, with hospital systems and poultry operations trying to staff in communities a world away from Wilmington. Same state, two entirely different retention problems.
Chris speaks to both because the underlying question is the same one he answers running national healthcare staffing organizations. He has keynoted state association conferences in eleven states, including community healthcare in Virginia and rural health in Utah, Montana, and Texas.
