Health care is a unique business where a deep sense of mission is both the driver of passion and the best predictor of success. Yet many health care organizations are experiencing a loss of the spirit and purpose that's needed to engage their people's best efforts.
This powerful program reveals the keys to renewing the heart health care, how leaders at all levels-from CEO's to the front line-can take responsibility for re-igniting passion and purpose at work, how to engage associates in their work, and ways to keep teams spirited amidst change.
Almost every health care organization is trying to provide great customer service to patients and clients but many traditional methods fail to inspire true compassionate care.
In this program, Dr. Izzo examines three keys to compassionate caring:
Care for the Self. How caregivers and staff can care for themselves.
Care for the Team. How teams can create truly collaborative and positive team relationships.
Care for the Patients/Families. How to stay focused on the patients, clients and families.
