Key drivers, effective interventions, and implications for practice and future research are identified. Methods: PRISMA guidelines and the PICO framework were followed. Qualitative and quantitative studies from various healthcare settings were included. A comprehensive search strategy was used to gather relevant literature. Results: Successful wellbeing programs are driven by responsive leadership, participative design, creation of safe environments, sustainable activities, and evidence-based interventions. Effective strategies include the development of psychological capital, emotional intelligence training, flexible access to psychological support, supportive work-life balance policies, regular wellbeing assessments, and leadership training. Positive impacts on mental health, reduced burnout, increased job satisfaction, and improved physical health, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, have been demonstrated. Discussion: Findings align with sociotechnical systems theory, emphasizing the interdependence of technical and social organizational factors. Evidence-based approaches, such as developing psychological capital and emotional intelligence, are crucial for enhancing workplace wellbeing. Strengths of the review include a comprehensive approach and inclusion of diverse research methods. Limitations include a focus on Western countries, varying study quality, and an emphasis on short-term impacts. Conclusion: Workplace wellbeing programs are essential for fostering a supportive and resilient workforce in healthcare settings. Future research should explore diverse cultural contexts, improve methodological rigor, investigate long-term impacts, and focus on specific healthcare roles. Addressing these areas can help design more effective and sustainable wellbeing programs, enhancing employee health, job satisfaction, and organizational performance
