Health Care Industry Check-up
Exploring health care workers' well-being and what employers can do to help
While many health care workers find their careers rewarding, staff shortages, burnout, and declining job satisfaction challenge the industry’s future. Likewise, health care workers’ overall well-being lags compared to those in other industries.
Only 31% of health care workers rate their mental health as very good/excellent, and 44% are concerned about having a financial plan to achieve their major financial goals — higher than any other industry.
With only 2 in 5 health care workers feeling that their employer offers benefits that meet their needs, many health care organizations may be falling behind in providing innovative benefits that support a modern workforce. Through understanding the issues their workers are facing and re-evaluating their benefits offerings and strategies, health care organizations have a prime opportunity to develop a culture of care that values workers’ well-being as much as patient care.
