Introduction
Health and care workers play a crucial role in safeguarding our global population. However, they can be exposed to chronic workplace stress and high demands, often with insufficient organisational, workplace, and mental health support in place to protect their wellbeing.
The prevalence of mental health issues and burnout among the workforce has serious consequences for health systems, reducing the quality of care, leading to higher turnover and rates of migration, and lowering productivity.
Employers and health systems must prioritise the occupational health and safety of those who deliver care. Alongside a duty of care to protect their workforce, improving staff experience offers opportunities for health systems to yield significant benefits through increased retention and productivity.
This seminar will explore the following questions:
- What is it to burn out?
- What are the most prevalent causes of burnout among health and care workers?
- What does the evidence show are effective ways to improve health and care workers experience and protect them against high stress and burnout?
- How can data and digital technology be used to better understand and combat workforce burnout?
- What low-cost innovations and strategies can be used to improve staff experience and retention?
