Abstract
Abstract
Objective:
To summarize the efforts of a single department in addressing burnout among staff and promoting a culture of well-being.
Methods:
Surveys from across the department and among individual workgroups were used by leadership to develop methods to address burnout and promote well-being. Committees with members from diverse department roles were also formed to further develop initiatives to create a culture of well-being.
Results:
Based on the feedback from surveys, individuals, and committees, we have established a strong culture of well-being within our department. These efforts extend not only to addressing pain points in the work day but also to initiatives creating a sense of camaraderie among staff members across the department.
Conclusion:
With the support of institutional and departmental leadership, it is possible to create meaningful improvements in reducing burnout, increasing personal fulfillment, and creating a culture of well-being.
