Employer of Choice

An employer of choice is an organisation that creates a culture where people choose to come and work, choose to dedicate themselves to the organisation's success and choose to stay for reasons beyond financial reward.

NHS Employer of Choice Actions

As the expectations of the workforce and the wider labour market change, NHSScotland needs to adapt to ensure it is an employer of choice. This will include: making opportunities available to those staff wanting to work and train flexibly; supporting individuals to progress their career in NHSScotland; addressing the specific challenges arising in remote and rural areas; and resolving issues relating to the recruitment of specific staff groups. NHS Boards will need to ensure that roles are attractive to potential applicants in order to provide sustainable solutions to the workforce developments required to deliver high quality healthcare services now and in the future.
