May Best Practices- The Hidden Cost of a Bad Hire

A commonly overlooked fact: The cost of a bad executive hire can reach up to 213% of the employee’s salary(source: SHRM).
This statistic highlights why careful vetting, cultural alignment, and long-term fit are critical when selecting senior healthcare talent. Rushing the hiring process or relying solely on resumes can have long-lasting, costly consequences for an organization’s leadership and financial stability.
