Abstract
Healthcare workers worldwide have been stretched thin and
pushed beyond their limits in the years since the onset of
the Covid-19 pandemic. In one comparison of 27 industries,
healthcare ranked last for employee satisfaction, and hospitals
were ranked among the lowest in satisfaction by consumers.
But employee burnout, dissatisfaction and turnover were
simmering issues long before Covid-19 brought them to a boiling
point. If healthcare workers don’t feel cared for or valued
themselves, how can they be expected to provide empathetic,
personalised care for their patients?
