Healthcare HR Week 2024 Special On-Demand Webinar
Transforming the Healthcare Workforce with Empathy and Innovation
Available March 12, 2024, 1:00 p.m. CT (2:00 p.m. ET)
Business imperatives have long established the work that occurs in an organization. One that’s missing many times, however, is empathy. With continued challenges facing the mere existence of a positive workplace culture that can affect mental health challenges, substance abuse and other challenges. Implementing the principles of empathetic leadership can foster a myriad of positive characteristics that can help establish meaningful connections, trust and strong relationships in your healthcare organization.
