Description
Compassion fatigue and burnout are leading causes of health care workers leaving their jobs and professions. The "solution" has been vaguely framed as an individual responsibility, as opposed to an organizational or systemic issue. As health care organizations face unprecedented staffing shortages and recruitment and retention problems, it is time to consider a different approach to creating sustainable teams. Rather than pressing individuals who are already stressed to "fix" themselves, workplace wellness requires "self-care" at the individual, team, and organizational levels. Compassion fatigue and burnout affect the entire organization, as well as the patients. The goal of this presentation is to give clinicians and non-clinicians alike a new perspective on how to care for themselves, each other and take responsibility for creating a welcoming and healthy workplace.
