In a provocative and illuminating new talk, bestselling author and researcher, Jennifer Moss, shares ground-breaking and novel research on issues facing healthcare professionals today. Jennifer will discuss the serious impact of empathy fatigue, burnout, depletion and anxiety on health professionals and how that influences patient care. Jennifer’s talk includes real-world case studies from her first-hand experience working with doctors, nurses, first responders, administrators and front-line staff in hospitals, and government agencies.
Drawing from her collaboration and interviews with researchers at leading academic institutions like Harvard, Berkeley, UCLA, and Stanford, Jennifer’s talk will discuss how to identify staff burnout before it leads to attrition or long-term employee health issues. Jennifer will share some of the most compelling analyses to date on the correlation between staff well-being, employee retention and subsequent patient wellness and customer satisfaction.
When it comes to patient care, evidence-based research proves that mentally healthy practitioners consistently deliver better patient outcomes. And yet, despite the easy, and effective interventions that can be implemented to increase well-being, most practitioners simply do not take the time to increase their psychological fitness. This is in turn, leads to increase burnout, lower engagement, higher employee turnover and inevitably, less satisfied and less healthy patients. This is a massive issue that is crippling the healthcare industry. Recent studies showed that in the US, 1 million people per day miss work because of stress, equaling a loss of $300B annually just to this issue alone.
Jennifer will share proven strategies, combined with simple tactics to increase psychological fitness. From ways to develop growth mindset in your teams, to improving overall resiliency across your health care facilities, this talk will be the kick-start to building your healthiest and highest-performing workforce to date.
Jennifer is a regular contributor to Forbes and Harvard Business Review as a workplace expert.
