Becker's Hospital Review

32 CEO / STRATEGY Pennsylvania health system gets 3rd CEO this year By Ayla Ellison Crozer Health recently named Anthony Esposito CEO. He is the third person to hold that role this year. The Springfield, Pa.-based health system began 2022 with Peter Adamo serving as CEO. In February, after leading Crozer Health for two years, Mr. Adamo was replaced by Kevin Spiegel. Mr. Spiegel is an executive at Los Angeles-based Prospect Medical Holdings, which owns Crozer Health. With Mr. Esposito stepping into the CEO role, Mr. Spiegel returned to Prospect, which owns and operates 17 hospitals, for special projects. The most-recent CEO change was announced along with two other leadership changes. The health system named a new chief medical officer and president of clinical operations. The leadership changes were made as Prospect is in the process of selling Crozer Health to Wilmington, Del.-based ChristianaCare. n 5 states most people moved to, left since 2020 By Nathan Tucker T he Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago released a report July 7 analyzing data collected by United Van Lines in the company's "45th Annual National Movers Survey." The annual study tracks the company's exclusive data for customers' state-to-state migration patterns. Data from the survey indicates that Vermont is the state with the highest percentage of inbound migration during 2021, at 74 percent. South Dakota follows with 69 percent, South Carolina at 63 percent, West Virginia at 63 percent and Florida at 62 percent. States with the highest percentage of outbound migration include New Jersey at 71 percent, Illinois at 67 percent, New York at 63 percent, Connecticut at 60 percent and California at 59 percent. In addition to the state-by-state data, United Van Lines conducts an accompanying survey to examine the motivations and influences of Americans' interstate moves. Primary reason for move 2018-19 2020-21 Job change or transfer 51.4 percent 37.1 percent Physically closer to family 23.2 percent 29.6 percent Retirement/lifestyle 29.8 percent 31.8 percent The United Van Lines data analysis shows that the pre- pandemic move patterns were mostly the same as pandemic-era moves. However, the number of moves was substantially lower after the pandemic began. n 'Nobody wants to work anymore': a throwaway complaint By Molly Gamble L eaders responsible for hiring and retention may attribute tumult in the labor market to a simple claim: Nobody wants to work anymore. What can seem like a timely observation is a gripe that dates back to at least 1894. e chronological lineage of the complaint comes from Paul Fairie, PhD, a professor of political science at the University of Calgary in Canada, who tweeted newspaper clippings with the claim from 2022, 2014, 2006, 1999, 1981, 1979, 1969, 1952, 1940, 1937, 1922, 1916, 1905 and 1894. e last clip poses a question about how to obtain coal amid a miners' strike, ending with the statement that "nobody wants to work in these hard times." Aer the pandemic-borne "Big Quit," the frequency of "nobody wants to work anymore" may be on the gradual decline given how job growth has slowed and unemployment claims are ticking up. e Washington Post reports the number of active job postings across multiple online platforms has declined nationwide for five straight weeks, according to an analysis by Julia Pollak, a labor economist at ZipRecruiter. e phrase also leans on the assumption that younger workers' work ethic does not match that of their predecessors in the labor market. Numbers challenge this premise. For instance, payroll data from more than 200,000 businesses via payroll and benefits provider Gusto shows teens made up about 2 percent of new hires in April 2019. By this April, the teen share of new hires had more than quadrupled to 9 percent. "What we're seeing across all industries, really, is that teens are stepping up to fill this gap as older workers age out of the workforce or are either still unable or unwilling to come back," Gusto economist Luke Pardue, PhD, told the Post. n
