In this episode, Dr. Kevin Mailo welcomes back Dr. Jayna Amadasun, an Ethical Strategist and Founder of Ember Impact Global, to discuss how to address the critical challenges facing healthcare retention through supportive environments. Dr. Mailo and Jayna explore the emotional and physical toll on healthcare workers and how to combat poor workplace culture, burnout, and a lack of support. Onboarding should be intentional and integrate new hires into environments rich with mentorship and attentive leadership.

Kevin and Jayna talk about the need for human-centered systems to improve worker retention. It’s not enough to simply hire new healthcare workers; administrators must be accountable for ensuring their long-term satisfaction and engagement. Jayna explains that thriving workplaces build their own momentum in terms of attracting and retaining staff. Through thoughtful onboarding, listening, and investing in workplace culture and support, professionals will be fostered in environments they want to stay in. If healthcare leaders can prioritize the needs of frontline workers, patient outcomes will be improved and system strain reduced.
