MECHANICSBURG, Pa., May 2, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Emerge Education, one of the nation's premier
education and workforce development solutions firms, has announced
a groundbreaking partnership with The Great Courses, a global
leader in lifelong learning, to address stress and burnout among
healthcare professionals and administrators. Together, they have
launched Resiliency in Modern Health Care, a pioneering
online course tailored specifically for individuals and
organizations in healthcare to learn evidence-based stress
management techniques and strategies grounded in Cognitive
Behavioral Therapy (CBT), developed and instructed by a team of
leading psychologists.
This collaboration comes at a critical time as healthcare
professionals worldwide face unprecedented challenges, with burnout
rates soaring due to the strain of the ongoing global health
crisis. In fact, according to a survey, 77 percent of
healthcare workers "believe a healthcare crisis will occur within
the next year due to understaffing and employee burnout, while 1 in
3 healthcare workers plan to leave their job." Many employers in
the healthcare space who are all too familiar with employee burnout
prior to and in the wake of the pandemic are marking Mental Health
Awareness Month in May by emphasizing better access to support
systems and empowering individuals to take proactive steps toward
mental wellness and resiliency.
Moreover, the course's impact extends beyond enhanced employee
well-being, including substantial cost savings for healthcare
providers and hospitals. For instance, 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 healthcare 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
healthcare settings. 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.
"We are proud to join forces with Emerge Education in
addressing the pressing issue of burnout among healthcare workers,"
said Paul Suijk, CEO of The Great
Courses. "This partnership underscores our shared commitment to
lifelong learning and our dedication to supporting those on the
front lines of healthcare. We hope that this program will make a
significant difference in the lives of healthcare workers and their
mental health."
The online course is now available to healthcare
professionals here.
