A collaborative approach to strengthen nurse educator work environments: An experiment in leadership
Abstract
Positive effects on faculty retention, budgets, and work environment are assessed following a comprehensive change in leadership structure focusing on collaboration and meaningful faculty recognition through workload assignment and professional development opportunities. A strategic plan by a School of Nursing leadership team was developed to improve the work environment and provide meaningful recognition for faculty. The full extent of changes cannot be measured since this transformation was recently implemented although improvements in retention, budgets, and overall satisfaction are expected.
