A real-world blueprint to tackle burnout in healthcare
From bedside nurses to physicians, technicians and operational staff, healthcare professionals are carrying more emotional, cognitive and logistical load than ever.
According to JAMA, 47% of nurses and 33% of physicians report high burnout. Support roles feel it too.
Turnover data tells you where the system is breaking. Employee experience tells you why.
This eBook outlines a practical, healthcare-specific framework to reduce burnout, stabilize retention and support the caregivers that need care themselves.

What you'll get in this framework:
A five-phase blueprint designed specifically for healthcare's operational realities: 24/7 coverage, shift work, emotional labor and high-stakes decisions:
⇒ Clinical diagnostics that surface real stress points
Identify hidden friction by role, unit, and shift using frontline input — not top-down assumptions.
⇒ Metrics that tie directly to retention and performance
Track burnout, retention by specialty, NPS and safety alignment to see what’s working and what's not.
⇒ Journey mapping for high-pressure moments
Pinpoint where emotional load builds across onboarding, daily work and career milestones — then intervene at the source.
⇒ “Moments of Care” embedded into operations
Integrate structural support — stress buffers, errand support, meals, recovery spaces — into daily work, not as perks.
⇒ Leadership behaviors that shift culture
Equip leaders to model empathy, psychological safety and support in real-time, not just on paper.
⇒ A practical launch-and-iterate plan
Pilot, scale, measure and adapt based on frontline feedback. This is a living system, not a one-time program.
