Co-authored with Dr. Verna Yiu (former CEO of Alberta Health Services), the article is based on the results of a nation-wide survey of healthcare CEOs regarding strategies for increasing staff engagement, retention, and finding joy at work. It also introduces Dr. Geerts’s concept of The Great Optimization, which focuses on experimenting with different ways of working to produce the best results.
