Morale in Healthcare

By:
Joshua
Garcia
In Healthcare, high turnover rates are at an all-time high, and the main reason is workforce morale. Healthcare administrators must possess many skillsets or coaching skills when keeping a workforce motivated, happy and inspired. Morale is an excellent tool to (evaluate) and gauges the success of your organization. There is a saying that states a happy wife is satisfied in life. People have concluded that your marriage will succeed when your wife is happy. This saying originated from a 1908 and 1903 poem entitled "The Work and Wages Party." The irony of work and wages is mentioned in the poem. Thus, it coincides with the workers; the wife is the worker, and the husband is the company's leader. Being a leader is a great responsibility. In Healthcare, the CEO and other higher-tier- management figures are responsible for leading companies to be successful. Evaluating worker satisfaction has been a challenge in the industry to determine better if workers are pleased has been a challenge, especially for rapid workers. Although many underpaid employees love what they do, there is a higher possibility that they will be less satisfied with the organization.
