Vitality at Work: Aligning Human Capacity and Organizational Performance

Healthcare is at an inflection point. Healthcare professionals are being asked to do more than ever, often while managing growing demands on their physical health, mental energy, and personal responsibilities. In response, the Healthcare Businesswomen’s Association Think Tank is conducting a new global survey to better understand what workforce vitality looks like in practice and what organizations can do to support it.

The HBA Think Tank’s "Vitality at Work: Aligning Human Capacity and Organizational Performance" Survey examines how sustained mental, physical, and caregiving related health strain affects healthcare professionals and how that strain shapes individual performance, leadership readiness, innovation, and organizational resilience. It examines the systemic drivers of strain, the organizational practices that support sustainable performance, and the direct connection between workforce vitality and enterprise outcomes across the healthcare ecosystem.

Building on the HBA Think Tank’s prior Mental Health, Wellness and Work Survey, this research moves beyond awareness of burnout to explore the functional and organizational consequences of workforce strain. It examines how work design, leadership practices, and organizational systems either support or undermine workforce vitality, and what leading organizations are doing differently to enable sustainable performance and organizational strength.
