Every business requires engaged employees—they’re happier, they perform better , and are less likely to leave an organization. They’re arguably more essential in healthcare, where a competent, dedicated, alert provider or staff member could mean the difference between life and death for a patient. The stakes of employee engagement go beyond patient safety to include quality and the achievement of outcomes affecting reimbursement.
