Abstract: Abstract Key Messages Healthy employee-manager relationships, as well as professional and social relationships with peers and community members support health professionals and managers working in remote regions. Regardless of whether relationships are formal or emerge from situational and environmental conditions it appears that supportive relationships contribute to improvements in retention. Sustainable remote health workforces are more likely where employee-manager relationships are fostered, where there is perceived organisational support and where health professionals have relationship-based ties to the communities. A supportive employee-manager relationship becomes vital for workforce sustainability, especially for those health professionals geographically separated from their regular support networks. The key challenge for remote managers is balancing professional and personal relationships.
