Healthcare Worker Confidence in Job Market Decreases in Q1

Overall healthcare employee confidence dropped three points to 54.5 out of 100 in the first quarter of 2013, according to the latest Randstad Healthcare Employee Confidence Index, a survey of 183 healthcare workers, including physicians, administrators and healthcare professionals.

The index is on a scale of 0 to 100, and anything above 50.0 indicates a positive confidence level.

Here are three more findings from the survey, conducted from January through March 2013:

•    Just over half — 52 percent — of healthcare workers believe there are fewer job opportunities available, up seven points from last quarter.
•    58 percent of healthcare workers feel confident in the future of their company, down four points from quarter four in 2012.
•    Just 26 percent of healthcare workers say they are likely to look for a job in the next 12 months, a decrease of 5 points from Q4.
