We welcome organizations that believe that by sharing and learning with one another and partnering with patients, workforces, and communities can help us individually and collectively improve joy for the health care workforce. In other words, organizations that:

• Have commitments from the highest levels of organizational leadership that prioritizing joy and the well-being of their workforce is of strategic importance
• Are willing to share generously and commit the time and resources required to meaningfully engage in developing, testing, implementing, and measuring efforts to improve joy
• ​Are fully committed to moving from talking to doing, from aspiring to achieving​

Expectations of Participating Teams

The following are requested from organizations interested in joining the Creating Joy in Work results-oriented learning network:

• A written letter of support from senior leadership;
• Identified participants from each organization — ​at least three (one senior leader for participation in a steering committee; one core leader or unit-level manager; and one frontline clinician);
• Assess your readiness to participate around improvement infrastructure, leadership behaviors, and workforce safety;​
