About this program

Employee motivation is critical to the success of a healthcare practice. When employees feel valued, understand their role, and support the practice’s vision, the impact on patient satisfaction, safety, and quality of care is significant.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understand the power of employee engagement
2. Identify practical strategies to motivate and retain staff
3. Cultivate engagement through accountability and ownership
4. Turn engagement into action

One of the most common reasons that employees leave an organization is a feeling of workload imbalance or unfairness. Without consistent accountability, organizations are at risk of losing their high-performing staff, leaving a detrimental impact on their practice. By establishing a system with clear expectations and measures for individual and team performance, you can improve engagement, foster teamwork, and increase productivity.

It is essential that healthcare leaders understand what motivates their team members. Employee engagement has been linked with lower staff turnover rates. Motivated employees tend to work harder and are loyal, often continuing to work with an organization for a long time. This provides stability and cost savings for the organization. When staff members are invested in their job and care about their team’s success, there’s a corresponding drop in absenteeism and higher retention, which can dramatically affect the practice’s bottom line.

Learn how to implement strategies that optimize motivation and cultivate engagement. Healthcare managers who fail to implement strategies that motivate their workers may also fail to address burnout issues that can deteriorate employee morale and aggravate an already stressful situation. The successful manager is responsive, supportive of their team, and invested in creating an engaging work environment for their healthcare staff. By taking action to enhance the employee experience, you can effectively reduce staff turnover and help improve the quality of care.

Attend this session to gain key strategies to improve processes and build an engaged team-based culture while reducing the frequency of workload imbalance and intensity of training new staff. At the end of this training, you will be able to:

• List what employee engagement is and why it matters to your practice
• Use best practices for engaging and retaining employees
• Identify innovative ideas to build a culture of respect
