This tool enables organisations to undertake a self- assessment against the seven elements of the NHS people promise plus key elements that support staff to deliver high quality care, enhancing job satisfaction and supporting the retention of nurses and midwives. Organisations are encouraged to use the information gathered in the dashboard to develop and implement their local evidence-based retention improvement plans.

A toolkit is available to support line managers and employers and includes a template retention improvement plan.

Summary

The tool has been developed in collaboration with the Nursing and Midwifery directorate, the National Retention Programme in the People directorate and in conjunction with nurses, midwives, human resources professionals and subject matter experts. It brings together a synthesis of evidence on factors which are influential in nursing and midwifery retention.
