“Our people are the most valuable part of our organization, and supporting our people inside and outside of work is not only necessary but right and proper.”

“There never seems to be any “downtime” unless one simply requests for it and forces oneself to create that space. It is helpful when leadership is mindful to lead and message the importance of rest and wellness and not penalize physicians for doing so. It also goes a long way when zoom meetings still stay scheduled within the parameters of the regular workday and not bleed into family evening hours. As I think of colleagues who are single parents or those without any kind of childcare network, when systems reduce pay, furlough or require increased productivity, this creates an unsustainable dynamic for physicians/providers during an already difficult time. Solutions will require flexible hours and development of reasonable productivity benchmarks.”
