An organization’s mission, vision and values have a significant impact on nurse engagement and patient outcomes. It is important that nurses are aware of their role in achieving the mission of an organisation. They can then feel more satisfied with their job. Staff who have clear goals can plan and prepare for challenges throughout the shift.
A vision statement describes the future desired state of the organization and can be a great source of inspiration to nurses in developing innovative ideas. It creates an atmosphere where creativity is encouraged, and nurses can think of creative solutions to difficult situations. It is important to have clearly defined values, which are shared by all employees in an organization. This helps maintain a high standard of service across the board.
Organisations can attract the best talent by creating an environment that encourages nurse engagement, positive patient outcomes and career advancement. In order to maximize their success, organisations must take these elements into consideration as they develop strategies.
