Diversity And Inclusion in Healthcare Executive Search
A diverse workforce in the healthcare industry leads to better patient outcomes. Teams that represent and reflect the populations they serve are more adept at practicing cultural awareness, sensitivity and competency. This is true whether you are talking about patient-facing teams, leadership teams or the teams working behind the scenes.
Diversity and inclusion are more than buzzwords, especially in healthcare where there can be vast disparities in quality of care based on things like income, race and age. Moving towards or maintaining a diverse and inclusive staff is something every healthcare provider should prioritize, and Merraine Group® can help you achieve your diversity recruiting goals.

Recruiting Benefits of Diversity for Our Clients
For our healthcare clients, diversity isn’t just a nice idea or a heartwarming initiative. It has very tangible business value. Focusing on diversity can also improve long-term recruiting success for your facility or team. When a potential employee interviews with you, they will take notice if the team is homogeneous – especially if they themselves seem to stand out among that homogeneous team.
Diverse teams attract a more diverse and talented candidate pool. The more diverse your candidate pool, the more diverse your team will become and the higher caliber of candidates you can continue to recruit.
Here at our women-owned business, our diversity recruiters know that fostering greater diversity within your organization leads to results like:
-
- Improved Revenue: Research by McKinsey shows that for every 1% increase in an organization’s diversity, the organization can predict a 3 to 9% increase in revenue.
- Better Innovation: Organizations with diverse workforces tend to be more innovative, thanks to the broad range of perspectives and problem-solving approaches that come with a diverse staff.
- Decreased Turnover: Employees prefer companies with diverse workforces because it shows you’re open and accepting to all.
- More Productivity: Performance tends to increase dramatically when a workplace is more inclusive, because they know their unique needs are being met by the organization that employs them.
- Better Decision Making: Research from Harvard Business Review found differences in perspectives and information processing styles lead to better problem-solving and decision-making.

Our healthcare executive search recruiters are dedicated to ensuring you’re completely happy with the opportunity we present you with – and that includes everything leading up to the offer letter and beyond.
Executive Recruiters That Facilitate Your Workforce Goals
Diversity and inclusion can mean different things based on the culture of your organization and even your geographic location. However, a diverse, well-balanced team from the front line through back-office staff and leadership is the best way to serve a patient population.
Before you attempt to hire for greater diversity, it’s important to understand how diversity and inclusion fit into your culture and long-term goals. What do you want to achieve by attracting a more diverse candidate pool? How will you become a more inclusive workplace? These are not always easy questions to answer.
