Work Redesign: Healthcare industry workforce imperative
Mercer’s approach to work redesign…
Healthcare organizations are forced to do more with less due to persistent talent shortages, pervasive burnout, increasing demand and consistent margin pressure.
Work design is about deconstructing jobs at the task level to determine what tasks can be offloaded, augmented, optimized and/or automated to allow workers to “practice safely at the top of their license.”
When initiating a Work Redesign project with Mercer, we have delivered as much as 40% increased capacity and improved job satisfaction in key, high-demand roles within healthcare. Our approach is scalable and sustainable. Resulting in increased capacity for the organization without adding headcount and results in improved satisfaction for employees.
