One out of every six people struggle with infertility, according to the\u202fWorld Health Organization,<\/a> and it turns out healthcare pros are suffering from infertility at an even higher rate, with data showing\u202fone out of every four<\/a> female physicians require infertility assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It takes more than a competitive salary to keep top healthcare talent at your hospital<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This reality means top healthcare talent are factoring in more than just a competitive salary when making decisions about whether to stay at one facility versus moving to another \u2013 or when making decisions about staying in the healthcare industry at all.
