Industry-specific Retention of Hires in
Pasco & Hernando Counties

 Question:    Can MEETS help the Pasco-Hernando Jobs & Education Partnership Regional Board, Inc. understand sub-sector and age group differences in retention of new employees within the local healthcare industry?

Response:    A customized MEETS document titled Industry Retention Profile, Pasco-Hernando, Florida.

 Answer:         The profile shows important differences in sub-sector retention rates within the two-county healthcare industry.  Some of these differences reflect the age/gender mix of sub-sector employment.

 Conclusion: Healthcare is a growth industry in this region.  Targeted attention to new hire retention challenges is one tactic to reduce the gap between employer needs and the pool of qualified candidates for employment.  The new age/gender information combined with paired information about hiring and retention of hires is a major step forward in designing effective retention improvement strategies.
