Abstract: Introduction: Maintaining a skilled and effective healthcare workforce is essential for providing quality care to patients. The pace and stress of the current environment can make it difficult for healthcare professionals to maintain their resilience. Effective leadership strategies are crucial for driving up workforce resilience and helping healthcare professionals thrive. Methods: So, we conducted a thorough literature search, looking for examples of effective leadership approaches to building healthcare workforce resilience. Multiple databases, including PubMed, CINAHL, and PSYC INFO, were used for the literature search. Results: We found that several of the strategies that were found to be effective in promoting resilience among the healthcare workforce included fostering a culture of support, encouragement, and empowerment; providing opportunities for self-care, relaxation, and stress management; promoting work-life balance; and ultimately, implementing communication training and mentorship. 4. They were found to improve the resilience of healthcare professionals and mitigate the adverse effects of burnout and stress. Conclusions: Leadership in promoting and normalizing resilience in the healthcare Workforce Understanding and taking action on the identified strategies will help leaders build a supportive working environment focused on improving both employee well-being and the quality of care delivered to patients. More research is warranted to ascertain both the effectiveness of such approaches and create evidence-informed recommendations to support organizational leaders in enhancing workforce resilience.
