Johnson-Johnson-releases-new-Healthy-Workforce-offerings--e1557425653663

The Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Companies released new Healthy Workforce offerings designed to help meet the needs of health systems struggling with clinician burnout and excessive stress. Developed specifically for healthcare organizations, the offerings are designed to increase employee engagement and reduce burnout through comprehensive employee engagement strategies that can lead to increased vitality, improved sense of purpose, and greater health and well-being for employees.

Clinicians constantly deal with the pressures associated with being on the front line of delivering care to patients. These pressures, combined with other administrative and personal responsibilities, can lead to long periods of high stress and burnout. Recent studies show that 54 percent of physiciansi and 70 percent of nursesii report burnout in their current positions. Research also finds that medical errors can triple when there are high levels of burnoutiii,iv , and disengaged employees are two times more likely to leave an organization.v

“Clinician burnout is currently apublic health epidemic that is threatening the quality and safety ofhealthcare,” said Bernadette Melnyk, PhD, RN, APRN-CNP, FAANP, FNAP, FAAN, vicepresident of Health Promotion, university chief wellness officer and dean ofthe College of Nursing at The Ohio State University, who led a study on one ofthe Healthy Workforce offerings at her institution. “Burnout and disengagementcan lead to medical errors, substantial staff turnover and have an adverseimpact on a health system’s overall culture. The unique Healthy Workforceofferings provide an evidence-based, vital approach to support today’shealthcare teams and promote an environment of engagement and wellbeing thatcan help improve both clinician and organizational outcomes.”

Health Systems and clinicians arestarting to see the benefits of addressing burnout and its impact onengagement.

“As physicians, we’re taught that workis a marathon and we must pace ourselves. But extended periods of highworkloads or stress is not sustainable and can lead to burnout and energy lossthat profoundly affects our personal and professional lives,” says Eric F.Stamler, MD FACOG, a practicing OBGYN in Cincinnati, Ohio, and participant in aHuman Performance Institute course, one of the Healthy Workforce offerings.“The course helped me refocus on what’s important and gain the skills toachieve my goals – a positive, powerful and transformative experience.”

Healthy Workforce draws from capabilities with demonstrated results from acrossall three sectors of the Johnson & Johnson Family of Companies and isinformed by an evidence-based framework for employee engagement, to help healthsystems create a comprehensive strategy, as well as programs and policies. Theframework focuses on four critical categories and are executed through the lensof the individual, team and leadership:
