When asked, most people will answer the question "why did you go into healthcare?" with "because I wanted to make a difference". Yet once in the work force, this often becomes increasingly difficult due to overburdened systems, lack of sufficient staff, poor morale....the list can go on. The research tells us that joy at work and workplace safety is inextricable linked to patient safety yet we have historically viewed these domains as separate entities. During this presentation we will go on a journey together to examine the current state of workplaces and what can be done to bring back the joy we felt as we started our careers We will take a side trip to discuss how we can best support out colleagues when healers become wounded. And finally, we will learn how we will know when we get there.
