The study showed:

• 77% of healthcare workers were experiencing burnout and 62% were considering leaving their job. 57% of healthcare workers who left their role in the last year, the top reason for doing so was because they were unhappy with management.
•  79% of healthcare leaders were experiencing burnout and 52% were considering leaving their job. Management blames too much administrative work and hiring, staffing and retention issues for why they left their role.

• In the next year, nearly half (45%) of leaders will continue to hire more staff to try to curb the burnout crisis.
• One in three workers aren’t feeling it. 35% say that they don’t believe addressing their concerns is a priority for leadership.
