A Leadership Program to Improve Happiness and Reduce Burnout

In its aim to improve population health and health equity, the CDC Foundation has identified that employers have the greatest impact on employee health and well-being. Managers and supervisors who work directly with employees, especially hourly wage earners who may have a chronic disease and stressful social conditions, are often the ones whom the employee go to for support. With leadership burnout, chronic disease, and mental health issues on the rise, the CDC Foundation has partnered with Experience Happiness, LLC, to develop and pilot the Happiness & Health Leadership Academy to inspire, equip, and empower leaders with methods and tools that allow them to increase their level of self-care, awareness, and compassionate action for themselves and the people they manage with chronic disease.

In this session, learn about this transforming nine-month leadership curriculum and its measurable impact on happiness and burnout at Washington County and Methodist Hospital - the two Minnesota based organizations selected to pilot this evidence-based behavioral health and leadership development solution.
