Retention Assessment
Identify the professionals your organization wants to retain and evaluate the cost and impact of losing them.
HOW IT WORKS
We help medical groups evaluate financial incentives for key professionals and coordinate the resources needed to put an appropriate arrangement in place.
The starting point is your organization’s needs—not a predetermined financial product.
HOW RETENTION STRATEGIES WORK
A financial retention strategy creates an opportunity for important professionals to earn additional benefits by meeting agreed-upon goals or remaining with an organization for a specified period.
Choose the physicians and medical professionals who are most important to your organization.
Determine what financial reward would be meaningful and affordable.
Create clear requirements for how and when the benefit is earned.
Provide the benefit according to the written agreement and applicable legal requirements.
The longer a professional stays and meets the agreed-upon conditions, the more valuable the potential financial reward may become.

PREPARING FOR FUTURE BENEFITS
Creating a financial obligation and preparing to meet it are separate decisions. Depending on the arrangement, organizations may evaluate operating cash flow, reserve assets, investment-based approaches or insurance-based funding with qualified professionals.
Life insurance is one potential option, not a requirement. Liquidity, timing, taxation, risk and the written agreement all matter.
CLEAR TERMS. APPROPRIATE REVIEW.
W-2 and 1099 arrangements require different legal, tax and benefit-plan considerations. Earning conditions, payment timing and any forfeiture provisions must be evaluated by qualified professionals. Neither retention nor particular tax outcomes are guaranteed.
