How hospitals are luring IT employees

Hospitals are offering IT employees a variety of employment perks, but a competitive salary and benefits package is the top tool for hiring the best IT staffers, according to a recent HIMSS survey.

According to the survey, the most-offered components of a compensation package among healthcare providers include:

  • Competitive salary or benefits program (78 percent)
  • Relocation package (31 percent)
  • Full or part-time telecommuting option (26 percent)
  • Signing bonus (19 percent)
  • Time off for volunteer participation (8 percent)
  • Independent coaching services (3 percent)
  • Loyalty program (2 percent)

About one-fifth of the 200 respondents reported offering none of these to IT employees.
