NCMGMA Medical Employee Salary & Benefits Survey Review
Wednesday, March 29, 2023 | 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM EST | Zoom
Presented by Bernard Robinson & Company
Data Matters. Join us on March 29th as we hear from Tracy Martin, CPA, with BRC detail out 2022’s North Carolina-specific salary survey highlights along with important KPIs, and year-over-year salary trends.
It is essential healthcare practices review their complete compensation package (wages, salaries, benefits) annually to help attract and retain exceptional employees. By ensuring market-based competitiveness and maintaining internal equity, practices are more likely to retain their valued employees. Due to the unprecedented impact of COVID-19, 2021 healthcare practices continued to witness shifts in historical compensation practices.
After completing this webinar participants will:
Hear the current state of healthcare compensation within North Carolina
Learn to use survey data to update and validate current compensation/recruitment practices for the following areas:
Salary Administration
Nursing, Mid-Level & Other
Benefits
Office Staff
Laboratory & Radiology
Hear additional KPIs and year-over-year trends based on data gathered through NCMGMA’s highly respected annual Medical Employee Salary & Benefits Survey.
