HEALTHCARE WORKERS SEEK INFUSION OF POSITIVE WORKPLACE CULTURE.

The healthcare industry is facing challenges in increasing satisfaction and well-being among clinicians, leading to a shortage of healthcare professionals. Suggestions to address this issue include implementing a healthcare model similar to the technology industry, allowing healthcare workers to pursue parallel careers, and using career mapping to alleviate staff dissatisfaction. Flexibility in scheduling and work location is lacking for many nurses, and there is an increased incidence of patient violence towards healthcare workers. Talent development professionals can play a role in addressing workplace culture and engaging staff to find and address pain points. Two examples of organizations implementing innovative programs are Humana's rotation program for nurses and Mary's Center's facilitated telemedicine initiative. These programs aim to develop skills, provide flexibility, and create efficiencies in healthcare delivery. The nursing crisis is characterized by high burnout rates, low staffing, and an aging workforce. [Extracted from the article]
