Mid-Year Staffing Check-In: How to Strengthen Your Workforce Strategy for the Second Half of 2025

By

June is here — can you believe we’re halfway through 2025?

For healthcare and education leaders, this is a crucial time to pause, evaluate, and reset your workforce strategy before heading into Q3 and Q4. At iDEAL HIRE, we know that staffing challenges don’t follow a calendar — they evolve throughout the year. That’s why a mid-year check-in can make the difference between scrambling to fill gaps and confidently planning ahead.


Why June is the Perfect Time for a Staffing Review

Halfway through the year, many organizations face:

  • Burnout among clinical or teaching staff

  • Unexpected resignations or medical leave

  • End-of-contract transitions that affect continuity of care or education

  • Upcoming surges in demand (especially in healthcare travel or behavioral support in schools)

Whether you’re looking to stabilize, scale, or re-strategize — now is the moment to realign your staffing goals with your mission.


Mid-Year Reflection: What Leaders Should Be Asking

Here are a few questions we recommend asking yourself this month:

  • Are we consistently meeting patient/student needs with current staff?

  • Are we spending too much on last-minute PRN, agency, or overtime?

  • Do we have any positions that have been open for longer than 30 days?

  • Are we positioned to start the new school year strong?

  • Do we have a plan to retain top talent through the end of the year?

If you’re unsure on any of these — that’s where we step in.
