Every pharmacy seeks higher retention scores. We believe we have found the answer needed to achieve these results; the Pharmacy Professional Development Practitioner, also known as the PPD. By creating the PPD position, we have seen a reduction in our turnover by 50% and have been able to maintain it for one year. Our employee satisfaction scores have seen a statistically significant increase, (10.4% overall), along with an increase in personal and professional development, (76% of the department on role development pathways). The PPD focuses in on retention through building a robust onboarding experience, a mentorship program, and developing point trainers.

Objectives

  • Create a SWOT analysis for a Pharmacist or Pharmacy Technician orientation and onboarding programs.
  • State how a Pharmacy Professional Development Practitioner utilizes point trainers to drive consistent onboarding experiences.
  • Explain why the Pharmacy Professional Development Practitioner creates a Transition to Practice Course to add stability in a new hire.
  • Discuss how a Pharmacy Professional Development Practitioner Develops a mentorship program to support new hires well after orientation.
