How ‘Unhealthy’ is the Health Industry?

The health care industry is undeniably one of the most complex and chaotic industries on the planet, and working in it is no less complex and chaotic.

Some people thrive in the constant change and the lightning speed of decision-making, but unfortunately for many (if not most), the demands of the job and the constant pressure to do more with less, can become very over-whelming and frustrating – and thus very stressful if left unchecked. This kind of stress – the kind that instinctively arises when we feel frustrated, over-whelmed or threatened … creates an automatic chemical reaction within our body which, to keep it simple, depletes our human energy field of the positive energy necessary for achieving peak performance, for building and maintaining good relationships, for experiencing good health.

This kind of ‘emotional’ stress swamps our body with excess amounts of adrenaline and cortisol which over time takes its toll on our mental, physical and emotional health. And this kind of ‘emotional’ stress is unavoidable in today’s modern health care of changing demographics. …and so, the cycle continues …

Add to that the aftermath of a global pandemic and is it any wonder that front line health workers have some of the highest rates of absenteeism in both the public and private work sectors. Learn the skill of Positive Presence to overcome the ‘emotional stress’ of the health industry.
