VIDEO: Strive for inclusion, belonging to improve patient care, boost job satisfaction
In a Healio video exclusive, Victoria Gómez, MD, FASGE, highlighted the importance of incorporating diversity, equity and inclusion in the workplace and offered tips for creating a sense of belonging for patients and employees.
“Diversity, equity and inclusion are great, but it’s not enough. Inclusion and belonging are what we should be striving for so that not only your patients, but also your employees, are happy with where they go and where they work, day in and day out,” Gómez, associate professor of medicine at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida, and chair of the ASGE diversity and inclusion committee, said. “People who have that true sense of belonging tend to stay at their jobs longer and live a more fulfilling life.”
