Give Clinicians Time to Recover from the Pandemic

After the ordeal of combating the pandemic, clinicians require time to recuperate. Organizations and their leaders should approach the concept in much the same way they do when developing other employee benefits. Determine who qualifies and then provide those clinicians a clear set of options for their personal recovery, including details on how and when those options can be exercised. Physical recovery could include temporary leaves of absence, temporary role changes, a more relaxed workflow, reduced hours, alongside meaningful opportunities to emotionally recover and address collective trauma.
