Abstract:
Recently we honored the second annual Health Workforce Wellbeing Day, intended to assess our progress and recommit our focus on improvements, which are critically necessary for the health and wellbeing of both healthcare workers and the general population. We have seen tremendous progress in supporting healthcare worker mental health and a deepening awareness of how operational challenges in the workplace contribute to occupational distress. Approaching health workforce wellbeing with a better understanding of root causes of burnout and a holistic and systems-oriented approach to improvement is progress worth celebrating and paves the way for more promising approaches and significant improvements.
