Pilat, a leading provider of integrated talent management solutions, and AHA Solutions, Inc, a subsidiary of the American Hospital Association, will host a free webinar that addresses the health care labor shortage and its effect specifically on the supervisory and management levels. The webinar titled, "Integrated Talent Management – Ensuring Management and Key Role Continuity," is scheduled for Thursday, August 16, 2007 at 3:00 PM Eastern.

According to the U.S. Department of Labor, the growth in the demand for health occupations will be twice that of other non-health occupations by the year 2010. Most alarming is the slow rate at which the U.S. workforce is growing as the labor marketplace struggles to fill management positions left open by retiring baby boomers.

If hospitals and health systems are to remain effective and sustain their future operational levels, they must evaluate their current processes and consider new ways to address shortages at the senior management level.

Hospitals and health care stakeholders are encouraged to attend this online educational session as Debra Stock, vice president of Member Relations of the American Hospital Association (AHA) and Pilat (North America) Inc.’s senior vice president of Business Development, Ren Nardoni, and CEO and Principal Consultant, Clinton Wingrove delve into the effects of the labor shortage on the health care marketplace and explain the components and benefits behind a contemporary integrated talent management process.
