The Importance of Joy in the Workplace

Listen now:


Dr. Yousem

Dave Yousem, MD, MBA, joins me today for a discussion on ways to spread joy within the workplace.

Dr. Yousem is Associate Dean for Professional Development at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. He is also the Vice Chairman of Program Development at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institution.

How to maintain and create joy in the workplace is clearly an important topic as Dr. Yousem discusses this in five different sections on today’s episode. Much of this discussion centers around the importance of making the choice to be happy.

“If you’re talking about burnout and resilience you’ve kind of lost the battle already at that point,” he said.

Previous Faculty Factory Podcast episodes with Dr. Yousem include:

“It’s much easier to have happiness at work if you’re believing in the mission,” he said.
