YOUR BUSINESS AUTHORITY
Springfield, MO
On this side of the pandemic, it seems health care is faced with a perpetual trifecta: financial limitations, little availability of a skilled workforce and the implementation of modern technology. Begs the question, is your staff “quiet quitting?”
Quiet quitting has been going on for decades, but it’s been heightened lately by viral posts on TikTok, and other media reports are joining in the dialogue. In short, it describes less focused employees, those who want to do as little as possible – often responding to a felt lack of appreciation or burnout, according to Jim Harter, a Gallup scientist researching the topic.
Back to the health industry, quiet quitting factors into the larger piece of why caregivers are resigning at alarming rates. Health care workers and physicians are burned out and need a new way of thinking supported by senior leadership.
According to a survey by Elsevier Health, a publisher of health sciences books and journals, 75% of health care workers are leaving their profession by 2025. The global report is dubbed “Clinician of the Future.” Furthermore, the Association of American Medical Colleges predicts there will be a shortage of 139,000 physicians by 2033.
So, what are health care systems to do to retain key talent? Here are four thoughts to take down that path.
Back to No. 1: Give people reasons to stay.
