This study investigated the connection between workplace compassion climate and employee well-being in tertiary healthcare institutions in Bayelsa State. Workplace compassion climate was conceptualized through three dimensions; awareness of suffering, empathic concern, and supportive action. A cross-sectional survey design was used, with data obtained via a structured questionnaire from 351 employees across four tertiary healthcare institutions. The Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficient was utilized to determine the strength and direction of the correlations between dimensions of workplace compassion climate and employee well-being. The findings indicate that awareness of suffering, empathic concern, and supportive action each have a positive and statistically significant relationship with employee well-being. These results highlight the critical role of fostering a compassionate work environment in enhancing the physical, psychological, and social well-being of healthcare staff. The study concludes that organisations that prioritize recognizing suffering, cultivating empathy, and encouraging supportive behaviours can strengthen employee resilience, morale, and overall employee well-being. Consequently, healthcare management should integrate strategies that promote compassionate interactions to improve staff well-being and sustain quality service delivery.
