July 5, 2018

In this episode of Up neXt, a podcast series designed to put a face on new CXR members and welcome Talent Acquisition leaders joining the CareerXroads’ community, Mark Farrell helps us understand what attracted him to rejoin the Health Care Industry at Froedtert Health 2 years ago as their Executive Director for Talent Delivery after a 6 year hiatus, what keeps him challenged and more.

[ Listen to this podcast now and more on the new CXR Podcasts site.]

Mark has worked for some great companies in the past including Northwestern Mutual and Cielo Wisconsin but returned to his earlier focus on a career in healthcare in 2016 at Froedtert Health because its mission resonates with his own. The nursing labor shortage, expected growth of healthcare and competitive pressures are keeping him up at night especially when he thinks about how it elevates the importance of retention and career growth. Outside of work, one of the ways Mark gives back is through his involvement in coaching his son’s baseball team and volunteer efforts in the community.

Welcome, Mark Farrell and Froedtert Health.
