The demands for talent development (TD) in healthcare are ever-increasing, and more healthcare organizations are realizing that their success as a business depends on their TD professionals’ success. As the function grows in importance, it will be asked to do more with limited resources and support. TD professionals are not immune to these constraints and issues that affect workplace health and cause toxicity. The link between work and health has become more pronounced because of the COVID-19 pandemic, as noted in US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy’s October 2022 report, Framework for Workplace Mental Health and Well Being. Healthcare, the frontline to this crisis, continues to be strongly affected by staffing shortages, compassion fatigue, and vicarious trauma, resulting in huge cultural shifts in the workplace.
But what does a healthy workplace look like? The Surgeon General’s report cites five components of healthy workplaces: protection from harm, connection and community, work-life harmony, mattering at work, and opportunity for growth.
What role can TD professionals play in supporting and promoting, or even creating, a healthy workforce? Join us on Friday, February 3, 1–3 p.m. ET for an open discussion about TD’s challenges and contributions to employee well-being and holistic learning. Daniel McEssey, MA, MS, and Mary Holtschneider, MEd, MPA, BSN, RN, NPDA-BC, CPTD®, will share their diverse experiences as a performance psychologist and a highly credentialed clinician on resiliency, self-care, autonomy, and flexibility in the healthcare workplace.

Accountability is a concept that is relevant for all human relationships, including our relationships with ourselves. Coaches are especially aware of the power of accountability in working with others, as holding clients accountable to their own agendas is one of the key ingredients in effective coaching engagements. Being able to model and promote accountability is essential for high-performing leaders and managers, and holding oneself accountable is essential for successful management of one’s own career and personal relationships.
This webcast will afford you the opportunity to explore what accountability means and how its presence (or absence) affects relationships and results. We will review the 10 essential mindsets and behaviors of accountability, and learn clear processes for holding yourself and others accountable. In addition, you can assess the quality of accountability among important stakeholder relationships and leave with a plan to upgrade your own practice of accountability, whether that means improving the way you hold yourself or others accountable.

what accountability means and why it is critical for personal and organizational success
about a model of behavioral accountability and assess the quality of accountability among your most important stakeholders
