Mitigating Burnout and Turnover in Healthcare
This study examines the factors that influence job satisfaction, burnout, and turnover among healthcare employees in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, employing a mixed-method approach that combines a literature review with survey data from healthcare employees. The research investigates the relationship between organizational and managerial support, workload management, and employee retention. The survey results revealed a concern for retention, as most respondents (67%) felt appreciated; however, half indicated that they would leave their positions within a year. Overall, the study identifies the correlation between employee well-being and the quality of patient care and recommends strategies to address these challenges. These strategies include implementing regular mental health support services, managing workloads effectively, and establishing clear communication channels between management and employees. Although limited by the sample size, this research provides insight to healthcare managers seeking to reduce employee burnout and turnover problems. Strategies such as mental health support, workload management, and effective communication can create a healthy work environment that supports both healthcare workers and patients.
