Given the high stakes and demanding schedules of healthcare work, it’s no surprise that burnout is a big issue. According to recent research by the O.C. Tanner Institute, 78% of healthcare workers report high levels of burnout, leading to challenges with retention, workplace culture, and patient outcomes.

The recognition solution

The good news is integrated employee recognition (recognition that’s meaningful, specific, and frequent) can help people leaders address these issues head on.

When healthcare employees experience integrated recognition, the odds of several positive outcomes increase dramatically.

Interest in staying 2+ years: 4x

Sense of belonging: 11x

Fulfillment at work: 8x

High engagement: 12x

Thriving at work: 4x
