PRINCE GEORGE — Northern Health is looking at new ways to recruit and keep its staff.  A recent focus on profession based portfolios instead of a one size fits all strategy is paying off according to officials. 

There have been some positive results in recruiting difficult to fill positions like physiotherapists, specialty nurses and sonographers. 

When it comes to retention of staff, NH Human Resources is working hard to make sure potential employees find the right fit for communities in the region. A couple of strategies are underway to improve workforce planning including a scan of the current workforce and future needs.
