Does your healthcare organization promote a culture of caring?

In the healthcare industry, many employees find very special meaning in caring for people’s well­-being and saving lives. It is a noble calling—and in many cases, patient satisfaction metrics reflect the human connection and care that come with it.

On the other hand, it is also very common in healthcare to observe compassion fatigue among healthcare workers, nurses especially. Healthcare organizations must also navigate profitability, funding, resource availability, changing regulations, consolidation, and many other factors that can impact the employee experience. Unfortunately, many of these factors can detract from an employee’s ability to provide the best patient care at all times.
