Restoring Heart in Healthcare: How Recognition Combats Burnout and Builds Employee Resilience

Healthcare teams face unique pressures—long hours, emotional fatigue, and high-stakes environments—that too often lead to burnout. This session, featuring Awardco's Centre of Excellence and HR leaders from Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady Health System, will explore how recognition not only combats burnout but also restores meaning, resilience, and connection across care teams.

Join us as we discuss how recognition can transcend the walls of a hospital or clinic, reaching families, patients, and communities in powerful ways. By spotlighting recognition strategies tailored for healthcare, the session will showcase how Awardco enables meaningful impact through tools like External Recognition™ and AwardCodes™.
