The Intersection of Workforce Shortages and Competitive Leadership Compensation
Workforce shortages are making it increasingly difficult for academic pediatric departments to recruit and retain experienced leaders, especially when traditional compensation benchmarks don’t reflect today’s competitive market.
In this Pediatric Insight conversation, CareerPhysician CEO and Chief Talent Officer, Wesley Millican, is joined by members of the Child Health Advisory Council (CHAC) to discuss why leaders need to understand the market and build the case for competitive compensation before a critical recruitment or retention decision arises.

Bringing a faculty member or employee into an organization has very important implications for the future success of the organization and the recruit. Making a bad choice in hiring is extraordinarily painful for a department and for a faculty member whose career suffers as a result. Often faculty searches bring candidates who may be known to a member of the search committee and, as a result, references may be deemed unnecessary. In this conversation, members of the Child Health Advisory Council discuss the importance of obtaining references prior to completing all faculty searches.

Clarity in understanding the responsibilities of the Chair of a Search Committee is important to a successful process. The goal of the process is to identify the best candidate for the position that is to be filled. This conversation highlights the importance of the charge given to the committee. Noteworthy is the attention to details borne by the Committee Chair e.g. to have in place the preparatory documents, standardization of the process, appropriate selection of committee members, legal and HR supports to ensure the integrity of the search with adherence to Title VII and IX mandates. Discussed also is the engagement of a broad representation of committee members, individuals who are invested and do not detract from reaching a positive outcome for the Department, School of Medicine and University.
