Well-being survey results
More than 11,000 UW Medicine employees (42% response rate) shared their personal experience at work through the latest Well-Being Survey. Dr. Anne Browning, chief well-being officer for UW Medicine, said some progress has been made since the pilot survey in 2022 and there are positive trends with increasing scores for professional fulfillment and decreases in burnout. "However, we know those trends are not universal, and the results still show an urgent need to invest in the well-being of our people." Browning recently joined the Thrivecast podcast<https://bit.ly/3qQS1rs>, hosted by Dr. Trish Kritek, to discuss the survey.
