The Urgency of Creating a Culture of Caring: Start with You!

: With the high costs associated with staff turnover, creating a culture that cares for and about nurses could be the most significant recruitment tool for a health care organization. Professional coaching, both from a leadership and retention or "caring for the caregiver" perspective, can greatly enhance opportunities for improving resilience, reenergizing and reengaging leadership and staff, and breathing new life into your institution's culture. Healthy employees and healthy culture lead to a healthy bottom line. Imagine the outcomes on our national health care systems if nurses, at over 3 million strong, inspired by their healthy nurse leaders, committed to a lifestyle of self-care.
