Pharmacy Staff Wellness: Burnout or Breakthrough?

Behind every successful LTC@Home program is a team working hard to keep patients safe and supported. But by mid-year, stress can take its toll. Burnout impacts not just morale, but care quality and consistency.

Common signs include reduced focus, absenteeism, and interpersonal tension. Instead of waiting for burnout to escalate, take action.

Support staff with short wellness breaks, recognition of achievements, and flexible scheduling where possible. Encourage PTO use and rotate job duties to reduce repetitive strain.

Offer wellness initiatives such as hydration challenges, gratitude boards, or on-site stress reduction sessions. These small gestures go a long way toward maintaining a motivated team.

When staff feel cared for, they’re more likely to provide compassionate care—and stay with your pharmacy long-term. That reduces turnover costs and strengthens patient continuity.
