The increasing competition for specialists in inpatient and outpatient areas is 
moving the German healthcare market strongly. Specialists in hospitals are becoming
a scarce resource. Motivated and qualified employees are a key success factor. Fewer
junior staff and at the same time an increasing need for medical and nursing services
lead to a tense labor market situation and will affect the economic situation of
the hospitals. 

For management and HR managers, this means that finding and retaining qualified 
employees is becoming increasingly important.

In addition to the reform in the supply of skilled workers required by politics 
and business, clinics must individually go new ways in order to present themselves
as attractive employers and to meet the changed expectations of the skilled workers.
Together with the clinics, gök Consulting develops sustainable solutions to reduce
the need for skilled workers and to make working conditions more attractive, e.g.
through flexible working time models, age-appropriate workplaces, further training
or even optimized care processes.
