Losing Employees to Burnout? Here’s How to Fix It

07/09/2019admin

July 9, 2019 – Burnout has officially become a recognized health concern by the World Health Organization (WHO). This type of extreme stress or fatigue can lead to everything from respiratory problems to gastrointestinal issues. Feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion, increased mental distance from one’s job or feelings of negativism or cynicism to one’s job, and reduced professional efficacy are all symptoms of burnout.

The healthcare field has higher rates of staff burnout and it’s easy to see why. Working in such a volatile environment as caring for patients with a range of acuity is emotionally challenging. And there are the physical demands of bedside care that can lead to injuries. And on top of that, throw in the stressors of most other shift-work professions, e.g., schedule issues, perceived inability to take a vacation, problems with managers and other co-workers, etc. All of this can leave nurses and other providers burned out, often within a few years of beginning their career.

Avantas research shows that organizations tend to have the highest turnover rate within a nurse’s first two years of service. Data illustrates that if organizations can get an employee to the three- to five-year mark, the retention rate significantly increases. The research also indicates that strictly monetary compensation is a low priority for those that stick with organizations for an extended period of time.
