When you imagine your life as an ATC Healthcare franchise partner, although very important, you should think about more than just your day-to-day activities. Consider your year-round objectives and what initiatives to focus on when. For example, before the 2019 comes to a close, most ATC Healthcare franchise partners are focused on evaluating success, checking in with clients and setting new goals.
We encourage our franchise partners to take stock of what the past year has meant for their ATC Healthcare staffing firms and whether or not they met their goals. Did they generate more revenue in 2019? Did they grow their teams? Did they grow as individuals?
But the end of 2019 is also an opportunity to ask yourself an important question: will 2020 be the year you become an ATC Healthcare franchise partner? Keep reading to see what else you can expect.
Checking the outlook for the future of healthcare staffing is another way ATC Healthcare franchise partners prepare for the year. In 2020, Staffing Industry Analysts (SIA) are expecting the healthcare segment of the U.S. temporary staffing market to reach $18.1 billion. SIA also forecasts that a lot of the industry growth won't come from hospital staffing, but instead it will be from ambulatory healthcare services, which ATC Healthcare also staffs, like home healthcare, outpatient care centers and offices of health practitioners. Even as you consider the ATC Healthcare franchise opportunity, we invite you to reach out to us to learn more about the healthcare staffing industry.
ATC Healthcare franchise partners wear a lot of different hats. But one of the most important roles will be that of client liaison. Ideally, franchise partners already check in with their clients on a regular basis, but the end of the year is a great time to schedule a face-to-face. This is a great way to make sure that client needs are being met and it gives our franchise partners a chance to plan for 2020 by asking clients if they expect their staffing needs to change in the near future. ATC Healthcare franchise partners also spend some time at the end of the year informing clients about the growth their firm is experiencing, like an increased roster of ready-to-work healthcare associates.
During the last quarter of the year and even to the first quarter of the next ATC Healthcare franchise partners benefit from placing a focus on healthcare associate recruitment. The end of the year often comes with an increase in bills for everyone including those who are looking to sign on with a staffing firm that will help them find good, consistent work. Plus, a new job is a fresh start. And who doesn't want to start the new year with a clean slate?
This is just a glimpse of the things that keep our franchise partners engaged in their rewarding healthcare staffing businesses both in 2019 and beyond. The ATC Healthcare franchise system is designed to give franchise partners the freedom to strategize and plan for growth.
