Supporting Healthcare Heroes During the Pandemic
The Challenge

A workforce in crisis

The pandemic did not just strain healthcare systems. It broke the people inside them. Nurses, administrators, and clinical leaders were working double shifts, absorbing unprecedented patient volumes, and watching colleagues leave faster than they could be replaced. Organizations that had historically relied on the resilience of their workforce found that resilience had a limit.

Turnover rates spiked to levels that forced reliance on expensive temporary staffing agencies, driving operational costs to unsustainable levels. The employees who stayed were burning out, disengaging, and losing confidence in leadership. Traditional EAPs were underutilized and poorly matched to the depth of what frontline workers were experiencing. Healthcare organizations needed a different kind of support, one that treated their people as whole humans, not just roles to fill.
