Tips For Maintaining Quality Research Amidst The "Great Resignation"

Up to 5 million Americans have left their jobs during the ‘Great Resignation’ and that number’s still growing. While numerous industries are experiencing record turnover, it’s especially acute in healthcare.

Without enough people to maintain good manufacturing protocols or meet stakeholder deadlines, problems are sure to arise. You can’t control the labor pool, but there are steps you can take to maintain quality research even if you’re short-handed.
