Clinical ladders have been a common practice to increase pay rates and recognize advanced skills of dietitians. However, clinical ladders aren’t typically linked to performance, fully aligned with organization priorities or flexible enough to meet the career growth needs of dietitians. Attend this session to hear a conversation with two nutrition leaders who phased out a career ladder and implemented a professional career series with defined job functions and job titles for four levels of RDN practitioners. This model created more flexibility with career development and more competitive hiring practices, and it increased average rates of pay for dietitians by 14.8%. You’ll learn key takeaways to obtain buy-in within your own team and from executive leaders to implement a model for dietitian advancement within your organization. It’s time to ignite the passion of your dietitians around career development and create opportunities for clinical nutrition career paths.
