@ELHT_NHS so today I fully retired!! Thank you for a wonderful career as a nurse and midwife. As a 19 year old when I started, I couldn’t imagine working anywhere for more than a year or two. 37 years later….. Goodbye 💕💕

It was wonderful to listen to Michael West’s @WestM61 keynote at #FNMConf2024. I wrote down multiple quotes from Michael to store away for later. These include: “Compassion is the single most powerful intervention available to us” (in leading health and care). “The factor that has the greatest impact on culture is the behaviour of leaders”. “The ability to be self-compassionate is a pre-requisite of the ability to be compassionate to others”. Thank you Michael (and thank you @RCSI_FacNurMid for inviting me).

Belonging at work really matters. Employees with a strong sense of belonging outperform others on almost every metric, from engagement & retention to performance & wellbeing. Good leadership supports belonging: People with an effective manager are 6X more likely to feel this sense of belonging. Six ways to gauge belonging at work based on research: 1) Overall sense of belonging: I feel a strong sense of belonging at my organisation 2) Welcomed: I feel warmly welcomed at in my organisation (first day, new team, new role) 3) Known: I feel known as an individual at work 4) Included: I feel included at work (can be myself, my opinions are valued, can respectfully disagree) 5) Supported: I am supported at work in achieving my personal & professional development goals 6) Connected: I feel a strong connection with peers and colleagues Download a great free toolkit ("blueprint") for building belonging: achievers.com/resources/whit… Thank you @Achievers
