Customized Staffing Solutions
In addition to offering its traditional services (i.e., temporary
staffing, Temp-to-Hire, Direct Hire), Cardinal Health Staffing Network
will develop customized pharmacy-staffing solutions to address the
growing pharmacy manpower needs of its clients. The goal of these
customized solutions is to help clients address the critical issues
facing their pharmacies today and in the future.
Cardinal Health Staffing Network's customized staffing solutions,
which are developed and implemented in collaboration with the client,
include:
Interim Specialized Pharmacy Professionals (Travel)
In addition to temporary staff pharmacists and pharmacy technicians,
Cardinal Health Staffing Network can provide more specialized pharmacy
professionals on a contract basis (usually 4- to 13-week assignments).
- Specialized pharmacy professionals include:
- Directors of pharmacy
- Clinical pharmacists
- Pharmacists with Board of Pharmaceutical Specialty certifications
in nuclear pharmacy, nutritional support, oncology, pharmacotherapy
and psychiatric pharmacy
- Staff pharmacists
- Pharmacy technicians
- Pharmacy inventory managers/buyers
- These interim professionals are available on a full-time basis,
usually for longer assignments.
- Travel expenses will most likely be incurred by client when
obtaining the services of these individuals.
Turnover Analysis
Cost of Turnover (COT) is usually estimated to be at least 150 percent
of an employee's base salary. To quantify the COT for a specific facility,
Cardinal Health Staffing Network uses a "turnover analysis"
spreadsheet that considers more than 40 elements that must be analyzed
to determine actual costs associated with employee turnover.
Turnover elements can be characterized in four categories:
- Employee Leaving Costs
- Cost of fill-in employee(s)
- Productivity of fill-in employee(s)
- Cost of manager's time
- Lost departmental productivity
- Lost Productivity Costs
- Departing employee(s)
- New employee productivity learning curve
- Co-workers and supervisors
- Recruiting Costs
- Advertising
- Internal recruiter and assistant
- Administrative costs
- Preemployment testing
- Training Costs
- Orientation
- Department training
- Trainer and material cost
Cardinal Health Staffing Network's turnover analysis will quantify
the client's actual costs for each element that apply and combine
that with actual historical turnover data. The result is a verifiable
COT for the pharmacy department. This provides a benchmark against
which recruiting and retention programs can be compared and demonstrates
the importance of addressing manpower issues to the overall profitability
of the facility.
Vendor On Premises (VOP) Program
Cardinal Health Staffing Network's Vendor-on Premises (VOP) program
allows clients to achieve maximum benefit from their partnership with
us. Unlike the company's employee leasing solution, the VOP program
allows the client's employees to stay on the client's payroll. We
manage the scheduling of client staff, CHSN staff, and any outside
third-party staffing agency personnel.
- Cardinal Health Staffing Network places a staffing specialist
on site at the client's main location or headquarters.
- All scheduling requests (i.e., vacation, sick call, open positions,
etc.) are funneled through our on-site specialist.
- Cardinal Health Staffing Network will schedule the client's
existing pharmacy staff, relieving supervisors and district managers
of that burden.
- Once the client's resources are exhausted, we will fill any
remaining openings from its pool of temporary workers.
- In those instances where additional resources are required,
we will manage the procurement of outside temporary services,
including managing requests and confirmations and paying invoices
for those services.
- Clients benefit from:
- Reduced administration (only one agency to interact with)
- Consolidated billing
- Scheduling expertise
- Contract compliance with outside vendors
- Single point of contact for all requests
