Explain the impact of the cost-benefit ratio on recruitment and retention strategies of a healthcare organization.

The cost-benefit ratio can significantly affect an organization’s recruitment strategy as it will determine what type of candidate they should be looking for in order to hire someone who has a good balance between skills and salary requirements. Organizations may also look at factors such as location, employee experience levels or educational background when making their decision based on this ratio (Allison & Kaye 2018). It can also have an effect on when an organization decides to recruit new staff members – if there is a high cost associated with recruiting then it may make more sense to wait until there is demand for additional personnel before taking action.

This ratio can also influence how organizations design their training programs since higher costs are often required when providing more comprehensive training. Employers must consider not only the initial outlay but also ongoing maintenance fees along with potential lost productivity from having staff away from work while being trained (Kirkpatrick 2020). Additionally, employers must factor in whether or not investing in employee development will lead to greater financial returns over time due to increased efficiency or quality improvements.
