Beth A. Brooks, PhD, RN, FACHE, and Senior Partner at JWT Employment Communications, one of the world’s largest employment marketing and communications companies, will present Evidence-based Recruitment & Retention at conferences across the country this month, including: Texas Association for Healthcare Recruitment (TAHCR) Fall Conference on November 8th, Colorado Healthcare Association of Human Resource Management (CHAHRM) Fall Conference on November 9th and the Philadelphia Area Association of Health Care Recruiter Meeting on November 13th.

Dr. Brooks’ Evidence-based Recruitment & Retention presentation will examine recent research findings, apply the findings in order to advance employee engagement and describe new trends in health care recruitment.

"As organizations continue to implement clinical evidence in what is known as evidence-based practice, more human resource managers and recruiters are being challenged to use evidence in their practice," according to Dr. Brooks. "This interactive presentation takes the mystery out of finding and using human resources and management research evidence to improve HR practice."

Dr. Brooks has more than 20 years experience in health care, including positions in nurse recruitment and nurse management. She also has previous experience in employment communications, working with health care clients across the country on award-winning advertising, branding and marketing programs.
