Talent Retention Strategies That Work: Lessons from Mercy’s Scott Sell

How do you turn a retention crisis into a talent acquisition triumph?

Scott Sell, Mercy’s Chief Talent Acquisition Officer, unpacks the strategies that helped this Midwest healthcare leader slash turnover and attract mission-aligned talent. Discover why Mercy prioritizes candidate experience as fiercely as patient care—and how their bold shift from “quantity to quality” created a pipeline of compassionate, purpose-driven hires.  

Scott also discusses:

• Leveraging team members’ strengths rather than shoring up their weaknesses
• Delivering candidates an honest view of what a role entails
• Are the “Sunday Scaries” a sign you might be in the wrong role?
