Raising employee morale and decreasing burnout comes down to three things: fair compensation and essential affordable benefits, promotions and raises based on objective criteria, and a workforce large enough to do what needs to be done within a 40-hour work week. Team-building retreats are a waste of time. Quarterly employee parties/events are a waste of resources and time. Employee of the month awards are too juvenile for an adult work force. Spend more money on your people in ways they can both see and enjoy. If employees think that only friends and family have a chance to advance, they will retreat. If they have a manager who thinks their job is to criticize, demean and give orders, they will look for a position with a facility that prioritizes competent and compassionate leaders. If they have 60 hours of work to do in a 40-hour week, the work will be substandard and/or provoke them to go elsewhere. Yes, that means you can fill those jobs with entry-level personnel earning lower salaries, but you will have entry-level quality for three years. By that time, they will have learned why their predecessor left and follow their example. Focus on people, not profits. If your hospital is poorly staffed and run, fewer people in your service area will trust you to take care of their healthcare needs. That reduces income, which will force you to make budget cuts, which will probably mean reducing staff (since labor is the largest line item in a budget) and the snake will keep eating its own tail until it disappears.
We don't really have programs but what we do is encourage staff to take regular breaks and utilize their PTO. So many employees unfortunately always feeling guilty taking time off as much as they should, and they end up burnt out.
I would love to know the answer to this as well OP because we have a ton of employees who are very burned out right now. You are right, it certainly is back on the rise.
