Turnover is Costly...We can help
It costs $44,000 each time a nurse has to be replaced. But money isn’t the only downside to turnover. Turnover also causes:
- Burnout among the remaining staff – They’re tired of onboarding new staff and carrying extra shifts during shortages.
- Ineffective teams - Trust and confidence must be earned over time. Turnover hinders teamwork.
- Lack of trust – Constant turnover erodes trust in both leadership and team members.
- Low morale – It’s difficult to keep up morale when you’re forced to work short staffed day after day to cover vacancies.
- Diminished engagement resulting in lower quality, safety and services – Knowing important processes and systems are essential in maintaining consistent quality and safety.
What You Will Learn
No one wants to leave a solid team with a great leader. Interviews with CNOs from across the country showed that underdeveloped leadership skills is the #1 cause of turnover. In spite of this, most nurse leaders are placed in supervisor or manager roles with little or no training causing frustration for both the leader and the staff. Our research identified the most crucial leadership skills needed to increase engagement, build trust, and create loyal, high-performing teams.
