Case Study: Solving Healthcare Workforce Challenges with Bon Vie Consulting Group

Client Situation

A large regional healthcare system was facing critical workforce issues that threatened its ability to deliver quality patient care.
The organization struggled with:

• Severe staffing shortages of nurses, physicians, and allied health professionals.

• High turnover rates leading to costly and constant recruitment cycles.

• Widespread burnout and stress among existing staff, contributing to low morale and higher absenteeism.

Despite strong leadership and competitive pay, the healthcare system’s efforts to stabilize its workforce were falling short. Leadership realized that without addressing the root causes, patient satisfaction, care outcomes, and financial stability would continue to suffer.

Bon Vie’s Approach

Bon Vie Consulting Group partnered with the healthcare system to create a customized Workforce Resiliency Strategy built around three key pillars:

1. Diagnosis and Discovery

• Conducted a rapid 30-day assessment of staffing levels, exit interviews, burnout indicators, and operational processes.

• Held confidential listening sessions with frontline staff and managers to capture real-world pain points.

• Benchmarked organizational practices against national best practices in workforce management.

2. Strategic Intervention

• Designed an immediate Retention Action Plan:

• Introduced flexible scheduling models to reduce burnout.

• Launched a Staff Recognition & Rewards Program tied to well-being and professional development.

• Created a Fast-Track Recruitment Initiative:

• Streamlined hiring processes to reduce time-to-hire by 40%.

• Partnered with local nursing and medical schools for early talent pipelines.

• Developed Burnout Recovery Protocols:

• Rolled out resiliency workshops, mental health support access, and leadership coaching.

3. Sustainable Change and Measurement

• Implemented monthly leadership "pulse" check-ins to proactively monitor staff engagement.

• Set up an HR analytics dashboard to track turnover, engagement, and burnout metrics.

• Coached senior leadership on building a “Culture of Belonging” to keep employee satisfaction high over time.

Results Achieved

Within six months of working with Bon Vie Consulting Group, the healthcare system experienced:

• 22% decrease in voluntary turnover across clinical roles.

• 35% faster recruitment cycle for critical nursing positions.

• Employee engagement scores improved by 18 points on internal surveys.

• Burnout risk indicators dropped by 27% after resiliency protocols were introduced.

• A $2.3 million reduction in projected recruiting and onboarding costs over 12 months.

Perhaps most importantly, frontline staff reported feeling more valued, supported, and committed to staying with the organization.
