Why does Quality of Worklife
in Healthcare Matter?

To improve patient/client safety and quality of care because healthy providers working in healthy work environments deliver better healthcare. To support health system sustainability and performance because healthy work environments experience higher retention and recruitment rates and lower costs related to absenteeism and turnover.

The QWQHC is committed to building a stronger and better performing healthcare system for Canadians by facilitating the sharing of expertise, building networks, promoting successes, exploring the challenges and championing the importance of quality of worklife in healthcare.
