What is the best way to recruit and retain good nurse managers and directors?

• Create a comprehensive Nursing Leadership Academy. A Nursing Leadership Academy is a cutting edge strategy to identify emerging leaders, develop long term career plans, provide mentorship, education and financial support aimed at a variety of leadership pathways. As part of the One Day Assessment and Planning Session, we will provide you with a step by step plan to create a state-of-the-art Nursing Leadership Academy.

• Good News! There are incredible new managers and directors working in your organization right now. The Atticus Group can help you Grow Your Own by developing the tools needed to identify new leaders and prepare them for their future role.

• Repackage the benefits already provided by your organization. Many great opportunities and benefits are provided to nursing staff and nurse leaders. Raise the perceived value of existing benefits by wrapping them in a beautiful package and presenting them as part of a nurse focused marketing campaign. Contact Us for more information.

• Create a dynamic nursing image. Companies like Mercedez Benz and Ritz Carlton have developed an image that is associated with high quality and exceeding industry standards. Branding your nursing department with a logo, quality standards and a strong public image makes a difference in how nurses feel about themselves and their association with your organization. Contact Us to discuss how a dynamic nursing image can improve recruitment and retention of both staff nurses and nurse leaders.

Why focus on Nursing Leadership Development Now?

• The Nursing Profession's version of The Perfect Storm is about to hit. Massive numbers of nurse managers and nursing faculty are about to retire, creating workforce instability in both healthcare organizations and the nursing education system. Proprietary partnerships can support local nursing education and your organization's ability to recruit new nurses.

• The rising tide of Pay for Performance (P4P) and Public Reporting of Quality. A stellar group of creative, dedicated and committed managers will be needed to create the work environment necessary for financial success in this new era.

• Directors and Managers are the primary drivers of retention, clinical quality, customer service and every other important component in the work environment. Any investment in succession planning and professional development of nurse leaders will be returned many times over.
