Action plan and collective agreements help ensure healthcare employee wellbeing in Lithuania

This case study explores how Lithuania has implemented a dedicated action plan and related sectoral collective agreements to ensure employee psychological wellbeing in the personal healthcare system.

Successful elements include collaboration and political support to bring about systemic changes and improvements through shared ownership, policy reform and awareness raising. One high-level challenge that remains is how to effectively reach the majority of healthcare workers and how to engage institutions and their workforce to adopt changes.
