o start, you should understand that healthcare is now the largest industry in the United States. Almost 14% of the American workforce serves in this industry, representing almost one in seven American workers. Read More https://lnkd.in/gCF5zzkp#medical#healthcare#healthcareleaders
As we move towards 2024, the healthcare workforce is expected to undergo significant changes. However, the current workforce is already struggling with clinician burnout and a decline in patient care. Healthcare organizations are taking notice and implementing new strategies to combat these issues.
The top priority for many employers is workforce stabilization. High turnover rates make it difficult to maintain a consistent and reliable workforce. To address this issue, employers must have an effective strategy in place.
Another major challenge is staffing shortages, which contribute to job dissatisfaction and burnout. To mitigate these challenges, many facilities are partnering with schools and utilizing temporary staff, travelers, and per diem clinicians.
Mental health and wellness are also critical concerns. According to a survey by the American Nurses Foundation, 56% of nurses reported experiencing burnout, leading to mental stress and a decline in their physiological well-being. Many employers are implementing protocols such as Code Lavender to address acute or prolonged stress concerns and enhance the quality of life for clinicians.
In conclusion, healthcare organizations are taking proactive steps to address the challenges facing the workforce. By prioritizing workforce stabilization, addressing staffing shortages, and implementing mental health and wellness programs, employers can create a more positive and sustainable work environment for clinicians.

While this is focused on the Healthcare vertical, there are lot of frontline (or deskless) workers in Public Sector as well. Thinking about:
✅ Higher ED /K12: cafeteria workers, bus drivers, maintenance staff
✅ Local Government: field workers, community healthcare providers, etc
✅ State Government: I think of all of the great rest areas I have stopped at, DMV workers, law enforcement, state parker workers, etc
✅ Federal Government: postal workers, TSA officers, border agents, VA healthcare workers, FEMA representatives, national park staff, etc
How might helping these workers feel more engaged with the organization improve their retention and contentment?
