Building a resilient team: Recruiting and retaining staff in a competitive market
Why staffing is harder in 2026
Independent practices face intense competition from hospitals and large groups. Rising labor costs, burnout, and shifting expectations make hiring and retention more challenging than ever.
But with the right systems, you can build a team that stays.
Offer competitive, transparent compensation
Competitive compensation doesn’t always mean higher salaries. Instead, focus on:
clear role expectations
tiered responsibilities
growth pathways
cross‑training incentives
Inside Out Medicine helps practices design roles and workflows that support staff success.
Reduce burnout through better operations
Burnout is rarely about the work — it’s about the chaos.
Operational improvements that reduce burnout
streamlined scheduling
clear communication channels
predictable task routing
reduced documentation burden
Inside Out Medicine redesigns workflows to create calmer, more predictable environments.
Build a culture of psychological safety
Teams stay when they feel supported.
Ways to strengthen culture
weekly huddles
clear escalation pathways
structured feedback loops
transparent decision‑making
Inside Out Medicine helps practices build communication norms that reduce conflict and improve trust.
