Optimizing the well-being of the healthcare workforce is paramount for maintaining effective care delivery to patients. There is a business case for investment in healthcare workforce well-being, with not only financial returns but also wins in productivity and clinical quality. Workforce well-being should be connected to overall strategies for healthcare systems. Combating burnout in healthcare remains an ever-evolving challenge, but optimizing the well-being of healthcare workers can have long-lasting effects. As such, knowledge of the key drivers of well-being is an important construct to consider in the business of healthcare.
