For hospice agencies, partnerships between social workers and executive staff members can influence decision-making gaps seen within cross-disciplinary collaboration, cultural competency awareness raising, team satisfaction, and emotional labor understanding. Organizations encouraging team member satisfaction assessments may glean valuable insight into how best to nurture the emotional health of team members and executives who are versed in emotional intelligence can help influence positive interactions amongst staff members. Analysis and suggestions for improved team member support and executive coaching are provided within the content of this paper.

While researching for options, an interest formed for me regarding whether taking a Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) course was an effective approach for simultaneously improving employee wellness while lowering burnout rates for these service professionals. Little did I know then, as Part 1 of the Portfolio will describe, that a wealth of research has already been done on MBSR in workplace settings,
generally with favorable results.
