One of the impending challenges facing health care providers today is the need for quality staff. Increased regulations, decreased funding, smaller pools of employees for hire, and expanding job opportunities have had a significant impact on recruitment, retention, and employee satisfaction. Over the last few years, person-centered care models have gained a strong foothold in health care organizations. How about the development of a culture focused on employees first? The research suggests that a positive working environment is a key component of employee satisfaction. Employee first culture does not mean that patient care is not important, but rather that the focus on the well-being of employees first allows the staff to naturally put more emphasis on the well-being of patients. This course is for health care professionals in all settings and will discuss the emerging trend of employee first culture, key characteristics of an employee first culture, examples of how non-health care providers have implemented it with success, and potential barriers to success.
