Abstract

With the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and the time that has elapsed since, health systems across the country have encountered unprecedented staffing challenges that have proved to be detrimental both operationally and financially. Turnover within many systems is at a historical high—with many resignations resulting from employee burnout and low engagement. For the first time in over 15 years, hospital CEOs have collectively ranked financial challenges as a lesser concern than personnel shortages (ACHE, 2022). Now, more than ever, healthcare leaders must implement innovative strategies to combat these unsustainably high rates of turnover. This essay utilizes a collection of studies and articles to form a comprehensive approach to improve healthcare worker retention by reducing burnout and increasing employee engagement. Many of the retention best-practices presented within this document are specific to the healthcare industry, however, employee engagement strategies from other industries are included as well.
