Implementation: Nursing retention toolkit
Implementation of retention strategies is fundamental to assist in bolstering the nursing workforce in Canada. There are many initiatives underway across Canada to support nursing retention. The toolkit provides a framework that can be utilized as a key resource for employers and organizations to enhance the current working conditions of nurses and outlines many of the initiatives. For the toolkit to have an impact on retention, employers and health authorities are encouraged to:
- Share the toolkit through social media, emails, staff meetings, and with colleagues and other health care organizations;
- Connect with facilities and organizations throughout Canada that are highlighted in the toolkit as best practice initiatives; and
- Adopt and implement the best practice initiatives by focusing on the themes that have the most value for your organization or health authority.
