Programs such as Physicians Recruiting Physicians are amongst current initiatives aimed at strengthening recruitment and retention.26 The Future Goal • Develop innovative recruitment and retention strategies to support staff. • Create opportunities for career development and upskilling within the PEI health system, such as new programs and training pathways. • Optimize the existing workforce by expanding professional scopes of practice. • Create positive and engaging work environments, explore flexible work schedules, pay attention to employees' work-life balance and provide relevant assistance to help them achieve the balance, and implement other retention incentives to minimize attrition. Enablers for Developing a Healthy and Sustainable Workforce Ongoing partnerships in health service delivery, education and regulatory bodies allows for a better understanding on workforce supply and system capacity demands, and more responsiveness to the changing conditions. Strong social and fiscal policy incentivize staff to move to and stay on the Island. PEI's small size means it is well positioned to address workforce shortages through concerted recruitment efforts.
