Healthcare workers are essential to society but face heightened vulnerability to work-related injuries and illnesses. They are over-stressed, over worked, and too often leave the job due to unsafe and unhealthy working conditions. Although the CDC’s Impact Wellbeing campaign encourages hospital leaders to improve working conditions, labor leaders and occupational health experts have long argued that policy supports are woefully inadequate to ensure healthcare worker safety. What does research tell us about effective policies for improving the day-to-day working conditions for these essential workers?
This webinar will feature presentations on two recent studies examining how laws, regulations and organizational policy impact healthcare workers’ safety, health, and wellbeing.
This webinar is offered by the UML Center for the Promotion of Health in the New England Workplace (CPH-NEW). It is part of CPH-NEW's ongoing Total Worker Health Trends: Expert Webinar Series.
