An overview of Strategies for reducing healthcare worker burnout and turnover and its efficacy

Abstract

Aim: To explore strategies for reducing healthcare worker burnout and turnover and evaluate their efficacy in improving worker well-being and organizational outcomes.
Burnout and turnover among healthcare workers are critical challenges driven by excessive workloads, emotional strain, and insufficient support, exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Effective strategies include organizational interventions, such as workload management, leadership support, and mental health resources; individual-focused approaches, like resilience training and career development; and systemic policy changes, including competitive compensation and work-life balance initiatives. Evidence shows that integrating these strategies reduces burnout, enhances job satisfaction, and improves retention, fostering sustainable and high-quality healthcare delivery.
