Abstract

Abstract We have presented an organizational framework and tactics that leaders and health care professionals can deploy to reduce professional distress and cultivate well-being. The three Action Sets of the Intervention Triad presented include tactics that help co-create fulfilling jobs for health care professionals. Collectively, the Action Sets promote Agency, Coherence, and Camaraderie and are integral to the comprehensive Blueprint—to cultivate the Ideal Work Elements, address the drivers of professional burnout, nurture professional well-being, and create a people-centered organization. A people-centered organization is one where a shared spirit and sense of purpose among group members inspires enthusiasm, devotion, and teamwork as well as a commitment to the common good, mutual respect, camaraderie, trust, and shared responsibility across the workforce.
