Improving Retention
Together
Creating a Workplace People Want to Stay in
Improving Retention Together helps NHS Wales managers, leaders and teams create compassionate cultures and great workplaces where people feel they belong, can thrive, and chose to stay.
With the increasing service demands and workforce challenges we face, it is vital we have a healthy, engaged and motivated workforce. In recent years we have seen significant numbers of colleagues leaving due to a variety of factors. To improve this we all need to play our part.
These online resources are designed to help you:
- Understand why people stay or leave your team
- Take practical steps to improve staff experience and wellbeing
- Learn from real examples and good practice across NHS Wales
- Access tools and ideas to support conversations and action planning
This space supports you to make small changes that have a big impact, regardless of your role, experience or specialty - together, we can make NHS Wales a place people choose to stay.
To help you, we have produced this evidence-based action kit complete with tips, hints and a range of resources to help us develop compassionate cultures and working environments where colleagues want to stay and thrive. So let's get started and improve retention together!
