Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract Background: The impending exit of the aging nursing workforce, especially nurse leaders, poses a great concern to healthcare executives. Organizations must take action to lessen the impact of nurse leader turnover. Interventions: The author developed a mentoring plan and a curriculum for leader development, based on the Essentials of Nurse Manager Orientation adopted from the American Organization for Nursing Leadership (AONL) and American Association of Critical Care Nurses (AACN), for assistant nurse managers (ANM) who are new to the role. The curriculum was implemented for two cohorts of nurse leaders within the first two years of their hire date. Each participant was assigned a mentor, who they met with regularly and served as a resource. Measures: The AONL/AACN Nurse Manager Inventory Tool self-assessment of competency and a 23-question demographic and satisfaction survey were completed by the participants before and after the learning development and mentoring sessions. Results: The participants reported a mean raw score improvement of 1.20, a 59% improvement, for all competency areas of the Nurse Manager Inventory Tool four to six months after the first learning session and mentoring activity. The results showed an increase in the ANM satisfaction with the on-boarding process from a 6.3 to a 6.7 score and an increase in overall ANM satisfaction with their jobs from 6.4 to a 6.5 score on a 7-point Likert scale. Conclusion: Succession planning is a deliberate strategy taken by organizations to develop the workforce to ensure smooth transition and stability in leadership to support the frontline staff in ensuring safe and quality patient care. Keywords: succession plan, leader development, nursing shortage, satisfaction

Download or read book Nurse Leadership s Influence Over Staff Satisfaction and Retention written by William Schlosser and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many issues affect today's healthcare leaders, with perhaps the most important being staff satisfaction and high turnover rates. Recent data implies that job satisfaction and nurse retention is a direct correlation with nursing leadership styles. Current challenges like the nursing shortage require the modern day leader to diagnose the situation and determine appropriate strategies to foster a creative and autonomous working environment through empowerment. Between the healthcare reform and the imminent nursing shortage, precautions are being taken to balance innovation without incurring financial ruin (Carver and Candela, 2008). The average age of a nurse at the bedside is rising yearly, and estimates indicate that 50% of the current practicing nurses will leave the workforce in the next 5 to 10 years (Carver and Candela, 2008). The objective when reviewing the research was to assess effective leadership styles, training and impact on staff satisfaction. Upon review of the literature, a clear distinction emerged suggesting leadership styles such as transformational and transactional had a direct and positive association with staff satisfaction and retention through empowerment, motivation, shared vision and respect. A broad-based assessment system was introduced to nursing staff members in a busy emergency department as a pilot approach to create a transformational leadership style of management throughout the unit. The introduction of the Hogan survey provides each participant within an individual assessment report describing strengths, weaknesses, and details where each person is likely to find significant satisfaction, dissatisfaction, and opportunities for growth. The finalized results of this ongoing pilot will provide leadership with the means to understand potential within each staff member, see growth areas, and find future leaders within the existing ranks of staff nurses. Further benefits include an understanding of the motivations for each member of the staff so that managers can provide incremental transformational coaching based NURSE LEADERSHIP'S INFLUENCE OVER STAFF 3 on the needs of each staff member within their leadership structure. The benefits to the highest levels of leadership include a clear succession planning picture within existing leaders, as well as a reduction in staff turnover rates. At the end of the implementation phase, the pre-and post job satisfaction survey will be applied to all staff to determine if the engagement of staff has increased, along with the turnover percentages for the Department. These metrics will provide a tangible sense of success for the pilot.

Download or read book Resonant Leadership written by Richard Boyatzis and published by Harvard Business Press. This book was released on 2005-09-14 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The blockbuster best seller Primal Leadership introduced us to "resonant" leaders--individuals who manage their own and others' emotions in ways that drive success. Leaders everywhere recognized the validity of resonant leadership, but struggled with how to achieve and sustain resonance amid the relentless demands of work and life. Now, Richard Boyatzis and Annie McKee provide an indispensable guide to overcoming the vicious cycle of stress, sacrifice, and dissonance that afflicts many leaders. Drawing from extensive multidisciplinary research and real-life stories, Resonant Leadership offers a field-tested framework for creating the resonance that fuels great leadership. Rather than constantly sacrificing themselves to workplace demands, leaders can manage the cycle using specific techniques to combat stress, avoid burnout, and renew themselves physically, mentally, and emotionally. The book reveals that the path to resonance is through mindfulness, hope, and compassion and shows how intentionally employing these qualities creates effective and enduring leadership. Great leaders are resonant leaders. Resonant Leadership offers the inspiration--and tools--to spark and sustain resonance in ourselves and in those we lead.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kaiser Permanente is the largest managed care organization in the country. It also happens to have the largest and most complex labor-management partnership ever created in the United States. This book tells the story of that partnership-how it started, how it grew, who made it happen, and the lessons to be learned from its successes and complications. With twenty-seven unions and an organization as complex as 8.6-million-member Kaiser Permanente, establishing the partnership was not a simple task and maintaining it has proven to be extraordinarily challenging. Thomas A. Kochan, Adrienne E. Eaton, Robert B. McKersie, and Paul S. Adler are among a team of researchers who have been tracking the evolution of the partnership between Kaiser Permanente and the Coalition of Kaiser Permanente Unions ever since 2001. They review the history of health care labor relations and present a profile of Kaiser Permanente as it has developed over the years. They then delve into the partnership, discussing its achievements and struggles, including the negotiation of the most innovative collective bargaining agreements in the history of American labor relations. Healing Together concludes with an assessment of the Kaiser partnership's effect on the larger health care system and its implications for labor-management relations in other industries.

Download or read book The Union and Its Members written by Julian Barling and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1992-10-08 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores three key topics in social psychology: the manner in which labor unions shape organizational behavior, a relationship which has been effectively ignored in the literature; the organization of the union itself, a fascinating test case for the organizational psychologist; and the way in which theories and methods of organizational psychology may assist labor organizations in achieving their goals. Since the union maintains unique characteristics of democracy, conflict, and voluntary participation within a larger organization, the authors offer a detailed study of a union's dynamics, including demographic and personality predictors of membership, voting behavior, union commitment and loyalty, the nature of participation, leadership styles, collective bargaining, among other topics. This is the first book to be published in the new Industrial/Organizational Psychology Series. It will be of interest to not only industrial/organizational psychologists in industry, academia, and private and public organizations, but to graduate students in psychology departments and business schools, and to academics and professionals in business and management studying industrial relations.

This book was released on 2016-11-08 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.

Download or read book The World Health Report 2006 written by World Health Organization and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2006-03-23 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2006 World Health Report focuses on the chronic shortages of doctors, midwives, nurses and other health care support workers in the poorest countries of the world where they are most needed. This is particularly true in sub-Saharan Africa, which has only four in every hundred global health workers but has a quarter of the global burden of disease, and less than one per cent of the world's financial resources. Poor working conditions, high rates of attrition due to illness and migration, and education systems that are unable to pick up the slack reflect the depth of the challenges in these crisis countries. This report considers the challenges involved and sets out a 10-year action plan designed to tackle the crisis over the next ten years, by which countries can strengthen their health system by building their health workforces and institutional capacity with the support of global partners.
