Client Overview
Our client is a tertiary care hospital
chain, with over 800 beds and multiple units across metro cities in India. The
hospital has more than 2500 medical and paramedical professionals. They are
known for cutting-edge technology, advanced care units, and a large inflow of
critical patients. However, despite its reputation of clinical excellence they
are struggling with alarming risk of nurse attrition, burnout symptoms, and low
team morale. The internal HR reports revealed 28% year-over-year drop in nurse engagement score.
Challenges
They Faced
The hospital is witnessing several
pressing workforce issues, particularly among its nursing and paramedical
staff. The key issues they faced are-
·
The
hospital experienced a year-on-year attrition rate of 22% among nursing staff.
·
Nurses
working in high-stress departments such as ICU, emergency, and oncology
reported severe emotional tolls.
·
Lack
of formal or safe channel for nurses and support staff to provide feedback.
·
Certain
units like emergency and critical care were operating at 140% of their planned
staff load, while others were underutilized.
Our Approach
To address growing nurse attrition and
burnout, TraceData launched 60-day targeted employee engagement survey. Our strategy combined behavioural
analytics, sentiment tracking, and real-time feedback loops to capture voice of
workers. Here’s how we executed the project-
1. Tailored
Survey Framework for Clinical Staff: We leveraged frameworks like Maslach Burnout
Inventory (MBI) and Gallup’s Q12 to focus on emotional exhaustion, workplace
motivation, role clarity, and team support.
2. Anonymized
Feedback Channels for Candid Input: We introduced digital feedback portal to
ensure anonymity, encouraging honest inputs without fear of judgement. The
hospital witnessed participation rate of 87%, reflecting strong engagement
with the initiative.
3. 360-Degree
Sentiment and Workload Analysis: Our tools captured qualitative and
quantitative data, providing a multi-layered view of burnout triggers. Our
real-time dashboards helped hospital to track response pattern by departments,
tenure, and shift timings.
4. Survey
Findings:
The key survey findings include-
·
68%

·
44%

·
1

once a week.

“We were aware of stress among nurses
but had no structured way to measure or act on it. TraceData’s approach was
human-first and data-backed. The team not only told us what was wrong—but
showed us how to fix it.”
