Presented on December 8 , 2022
The landscapes of work and leadership have changed and have primed us for systems-wide improvements. This requires a new leadership approach or paradigm as we navigate staff expectations of increased autonomy and flexibility in terms of where, when, and how they work.
In the midst of the most severe health human resources (HHR) crisis of our generation and following a nation-wide survey of healthcare CEOs on staff engagement and retention, CCHL created a novel people and leadership strategy, called The Great Optimization. Essentially, it involves engaging people and experimenting with various customized approaches to work to optimize each person’s contribution and thereby, maximizing outcomes.
Getting this right has the potential to improve results from the individual to the system levels.
Please join CCHL’s Director of Research, Dr. Jaason Geerts and moderator Corinne Schalm, FCCHL, Assistant Deputy Minister, Continuing Care at Alberta Health, as they welcome our special guests, Dionne Sinclair, CHE, Vice President Clinical Operations & Chief Nursing Executive at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), and Brenda Lammi, VP of Professional and Leadership Development, CCHL, for a fireside chat entitled, “Getting the Great Optimization Right: Health Leadership for Our Evolving Context”.
