Organizational Well-Being in Health Care: A National Symposium, a free and virtual event for health care professionals, occurs this Thursday and Friday.

 

Health care professionals have long experienced high levels of burnout, and since early 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the issue. While health care workers can and should utilize self-care strategies to enhance their personal and professional lives, organizations have the responsibility to improve working conditions from the top down. When organizations adopt a culture of well-being, employees can expend their energy working rather than simply tolerating their work environment.

 

In the symposium, attendees will learn why it is essential for health care organizations to play a role in evaluating and addressing the conditions influencing their employees’ well-being. Attendees will learn the lasting benefits organizations can experience upon investing in these values. Attendees will walk away with practical measures their organizations can implement at various levels, especially with administrative buy-in.

 

Our keynote speaker for the event is Grace Gengoux, PhD, BCBA-D, a clinical professor, director of the Autism Intervention Clinic, and well-being director for the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University. Her presentation is entitled Systems Solutions for Enhancing Professional Well-Being.

 

You may choose to register for one or both days. To receive a certificate of completion for each day, you must attend at least 80% of the session.
