Taken from the report:
Histology
The total vacancy rate for histology is 8.6%. The staff vacancy rate is 8.8%, and the supervisory vacancy rate is 6.0%. Results show that in the next 5 years, this department anticipates a retirement rate of 12.0%. Staff members have a retirement rate of 11.2%, comparatively lower than the rate for supervisors, which is 21.3%.
When hiring employees in the histology department, most respondents reported HT and HTL as the preferred credential or certifications. Also, 39.3% of the respondents from this department indicated that certification is a prerequisite by their department for candidates to be hired. Survey results also show that 58.2% of staff and 93.6% of supervisors in the histology department are certified, reporting the highest certification rates for supervisors among all departments surveyed. Night (10:00 pm to 6:00 am) and double-shifts are very difficult to fill in the histology department. (Garcia, Kundu, Ali, Soles, 2018).
