Mechanicsburg-based Emerge Education is partnering with an online learning platform to address stress and burnout among health care professionals and administrators.
Emerge said it and The Great Courses have launched Resiliency in Modern Health Care, an online course tailored specifically for individuals and organizations in health care to learn evidence-based stress management techniques and strategies grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, developed and instructed by a team of leading psychologists.
This collaboration comes at a critical time as health care professionals worldwide face unprecedented challenges, with burnout rates soaring due to the strain of the ongoing global health crisis, Emerge, an education solutions company focused on workforce development . said.
Emerge cited a survey that shows 77% of health care workers "believe a health care crisis will occur within the next year due to understaffing and employee burnout, while 1 in 3 healthcare workers plan to leave their job."
The course's impact extends beyond enhanced employee well-being, including substantial cost savings for health care providers and hospitals, Emerge Education said.
The company said the cost of replacing an employee after they have been recruited, hired, and trained can cost organizations millions of dollars annually. So, it's imperative that HR leaders recognize and foster a healthier and more supportive work environment to reduce high turnover rates.
"Our collaboration with The Great Courses signifies our commitment to providing high-quality educational experiences that empower individuals to navigate life's challenges with strength, resilience, and adaptability," said James Hunter, CEO of Emerge Education. "Together, we have created a powerful, cost-effective solution for health care providers to cultivate a resilient work culture, ultimately improving patient care and enhancing their employees' mental health and well-being."
The Resiliency in Modern Health Care program provides evidence-based practices, expert insights, and interactive learning modules to address the multifaceted aspects of burnout prevalent in health care settings.
Emerge Education said through a combination of flexible, self-paced learning and engaging content, participants will learn stress management techniques, resilience-building strategies, and effective communication skills from leading experts to foster a healthier work environment.
