Abstract
With increasing demands for unlicensed assistive personnel, strategies for optimizing recruitment and retention are paramount. The purpose of this quality improvement project was to increase the recruitment and retention of unlicensed assistive personnel in a nonprofit healthcare organization. Initiatives included expanding academic affiliations enhancing pipeline, developing a tailored onboarding program, and introducing a clinical ladder. Results indicate increases in numbers of academic affiliations and hiring, with unlicensed assistive personnel turnover rates below national averages.
