The Guidance Practices Need
Human Resources are one of the most important assets of an organization. Kids Health First supports your human resource needs by providing timely and relevant information.
Through various KHF and TCCN programs, participating practices have access to HR resources and assistance.
- If you are a member of the TCCN Health Insurance Program you have access to Mineral (formerly ThinkHR).
- If you are a member of the KHF or TCCN Malpractice Program with Curi, you have access to HR On Call and the HR Portal, ZyWave. Staffed by certified HR experts, CURI is your one-stop shop for many of your human resources needs
In addition to an HR handbook, this service provides answers to questions around legal matters and compliance regulations/issues. Sample job descriptions and HR training resources are also available through this site.
Annual HR Resources Checklist/Calendar 2025

Tips for Retaining Employees in 2024 (July 2024)
Around 27% of U.S. workers quit their jobs in 2023, which, according to a common turnover calculation, cost employers nearly a trillion dollars to replace. Unfortunately, turnover is expected to climb this year, and labor experts predict another form of the “Great Resignation” to take place as workers choose to leave their jobs.
Employee retention remains a critical challenge this year for employers across industries. A LinkedIn survey found that 85% of workers plan to look for a new role in 2024, which is almost a 20% jump from the previous year. The trend particularly applies to younger generations, including Generation Z, millennials and Generation X.
While today’s workers see both the possibilities and risks of job or career changes, many are choosing to explore new opportunities and leave their current employers. To learn more about how employers can help retain employees, click here to read this article.
